Black Box 5ft Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box C6PC28-BK-05 is a CAT6 Ethernet patch cable that stretches five feet and delivers dependable Gigabit performance while taking up very little space in a rack or workstation setup.

With a diameter of only 0.161 inch, the cable fits neatly in crowded patch panels, top-of-rack switches, and wall-mount enclosures where every millimeter matters. Data center teams will appreciate the extra room it leaves for airflow, which helps equipment run cooler. Home office users can route the cable behind desks or through tight conduits without creating bulky tangles.

The 28-AWG conductors meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements for CAT6, so you can run bandwidth-heavy applications such as high-definition video streaming, IP telephony, and large file transfers with consistent signal integrity. Each contact is plated with 50 microns of gold to maintain solid conductivity over thousands of plug-in cycles. A snagless boot shields the latch during pulls and reterminations, reducing the chance of broken tabs when you rearrange cabling.

This unshielded cable is an easy drop-in upgrade for existing UTP runs and comes in a neutral black jacket that blends into most rack environments. Whether you are expanding a core switch fabric, tidying a telecom room, or simply wiring a gaming rig, the Slim-Net design makes the job quicker and cleaner.
