Black Box 12ft Slim-Net CAT6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cable (Green)

The Black Box C6APC28-GN-12 is a 12-foot CAT6A patch cable that brings high density 10-gigabit networking within easy reach. Its green jacket and factory terminated RJ-45 plugs make it a straightforward drop-in for switch to patch panel links, server uplinks, or workstation connections that demand full bandwidth.

The Slim-Net construction measures only 0.161 inches in diameter, which is about half the thickness of a traditional CAT6A cable. By occupying less space, it leaves room for better airflow through racks and cabinets, and it frees up finger space around crowded switch ports when you need to move or add links.

The 28AWG stranded pairs create a cable that bends without kinking, letting you route it through tight turns or bundle it behind equipment without relying on elaborate cable managers. A snagless boot covers the plug latch so you can pull the cable through dense bundles without snapping the tab.

Each plug features 50-micron gold plated contacts that resist corrosion and maintain a clean electrical path. The assembly meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so you can count on stable 10-gigabit Ethernet performance with low insertion loss and minimal crosstalk.

Color coding also becomes simpler. Choosing green for this link helps staff identify critical circuits at a glance, whether you are building out a new data center row, reorganizing a wiring closet, or setting up a lab bench that needs fast, reliable connections.

Highlights:

• 12-foot length covers common rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch connections
• 0.161 inch overall diameter saves space and allows better airflow in dense installations
• 28AWG stranded UTP construction flexes easily for tight routing and cleaner cable management
• 50 micron gold plated contacts deliver dependable conductivity for 10-gigabit Ethernet
• Snagless boot shields the latch and reduces strain during installation
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards for CAT6A cabling
• Green jacket supports clear visual identification and cable color coding
