Black Box 7ft Slim-Net CAT6 28AWG Ethernet Cable (Blue)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-BL-07 is a slim Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance in tight spaces. Measuring seven feet in length and built with 28 AWG conductors, this cable offers a significantly smaller diameter than standard Cat6 cables, making it easier to manage in dense network racks and enclosures. It supports data transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz, ensuring fast file transfers, smooth video streaming, and clear voice communication over copper networks.

Key features

• 28 AWG conductors reduce cable thickness to nearly half that of conventional Cat6 cables, improving airflow and cable management in crowded racks
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards for Gigabit Ethernet, guaranteeing consistent network performance
• Snagless boots protect the locking tabs from damage during installation and removal, enhancing durability
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain a stable, low-loss connection over time
• Bright blue jacket allows for quick identification among multiple cables in complex setups
• Seven-foot length is well suited for patch panels, switch-to-server connections, and other short-distance networking needs
