Black Box 2ft Slim-Net CAT6A 500-MHz Ethernet Patch Cable (White)

The Black Box C6APC28-WH-02 is a patch cable built for CAT6A Ethernet networks that need reliable 10 Gbps links without the clutter that traditional cords create. By using the Slim-Net design, it measures only 0.161 inch in diameter, so it can cut cable bulk by more than half and let air flow freely through switches and servers.

Inside the white jacket you will find 28 AWG stranded conductors. They give the cable flexibility for tight bends yet still meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements and carry frequencies up to 500 MHz. The contacts have 50 micron gold plating that resists wear and keeps signals clean year after year. A snagless boot protects the latch, letting you patch and repatch equipment without breaking clips.

The two foot length is ideal when equipment sits side by side in a rack, a cabinet, or on a workbench. Network administrators use it to connect top of rack switches to patch panels, lab engineers reach for it during quick test setups, and IT staff rely on it inside crowded telecom rooms where every cubic inch matters. Because the cable is unshielded UTP, it bends easily and fits in common RJ-45 ports without the need for special grounding.

Highlights:

• Slim cable built with 28 AWG stranded conductors
• Supports CAT6A performance up to 500 MHz for 10 GbE traffic
• Contacts that use 50 micron gold plating maintain solid connectivity
• Snagless boot shields the latch during installation and removal
• Unshielded UTP design suits standard copper networks
• Two foot cable with white jacket handles short runs neatly
