Black Box 12ft Slim-Net CAT6A UTP Snagless Patch Cable (Blue)

The Black Box C6APC28-BL-12 is a 12-foot Cat6A patch cable built for network engineers who need performance without the bulk. It carries 10-gigabit traffic over an unshielded twisted pair while its slim 28 AWG jacket slips easily through crowded rack spaces.

Instead of wrestling with thick bundles, you can snake this cable behind 1U and 2U patch panels or between top-of-rack switches and servers, keeping airflow unobstructed and equipment cool. Its flexible housing lets you make tight bends or run lines around corners without relying on an external cable manager.

The snagless boot protects the latch from catching when you pull the cable through a dense patch field, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain a clean, low-resistance connection every time you re-patch. Because the cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6A requirements, you can trust it to deliver full 10G throughput in data centers, telecom rooms, or a home lab where reliability matters.

Choose this blue Slim-Net cable when you want to simplify cable routing, reduce rack clutter, and keep future upgrades to 10-gigabit speeds wide open.
