Black Box 2ft Slim-Net CAT6 28AWG Ethernet Cable (White)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-WH-02 is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed to optimize network setups where space and airflow are critical. With 28 AWG conductors, this cable offers a slimmer profile than standard CAT6 cables, making it easier to manage in crowded racks and improving ventilation around networking equipment. Its two-foot length is perfect for short connections between adjacent rack units, wall outlets, or desktop devices, minimizing cable slack and clutter.

Constructed with a flexible white jacket, the cable routes smoothly through tight spaces, while gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission at the 250 MHz frequency level required for stable Gigabit Ethernet performance. The snagless boot protects the connector latch from damage during installation or reconfiguration, extending the cable’s lifespan and maintaining connection integrity.

Key features

• 28 AWG conductors create a slim cable diameter that saves valuable space in dense network racks and patch panels
• Two-foot length reduces excess cable slack, helping maintain a neat and organized setup
• Certified to meet 250 MHz CAT6 standards, supporting consistent Gigabit Ethernet speeds for reliable data transfer
• Gold-plated contacts provide stable conductivity and minimize signal loss over short distances
• Snagless boot design protects the connector latch from accidental damage during installation or moves
• Flexible jacket allows easy routing through tight pathways, improving cable management and airflow
• Ideal for environments with high port density such as data centers, telecom rooms, and compact office or home lab networks
