FAQs

What are the key features of the Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable?
The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable features a slim 28-AWG design with .161-inch diameter, which is nearly 50% smaller than standard 24-AWG cables. It includes 50-micron gold-plated contacts, snagless boots for strain relief, and supports up to 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates. The cable is designed for 750 insertion/extraction cycles and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards. It's ideal for high-density networking applications and features damage-resistant construction with NEXT (Near End Cross Talk) protection.
What is the length and color of this specific cable model?
This specific model (C6PC28-GN-07) is 7 feet long and comes in green color. The cable features a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket material and is designed with a CM-type jacket rating.
What types of connections does this cable support?
The cable features RJ-45 Network Male connectors on both ends (1 x RJ-45 on each end). It's compatible with network devices, wallplates, and patch panels, making it versatile for various networking applications. The gold-plated contacts ensure superior conductivity and reliable connections.
What makes this cable "slim" and why is it beneficial?
The cable's slim design comes from its 28-AWG construction, resulting in a diameter of only .161 inches - almost half the size of typical 24-AWG cables. This slim profile provides several benefits: saves over 50% space in cable bundles, improves airflow between cables, enhances port visibility, allows easier cable handling during installation, and enables more efficient use of rack space in high-density environments.
What is the data transfer rate and performance standard of this cable?
This Cat.6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards. It's designed for Gigabit Ethernet networking applications and features Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) protection for optimal signal integrity.
