Black Box 2ft Slim-Net CAT6A Ethernet Patch Cable (Gray)

The Black Box C6APC28-GY-02 is a two-foot Slim-Net CAT6A patch cable that helps network teams keep crowded racks neat while maintaining 10-gigabit performance. It uses 28-AWG conductors, so each cable has a smaller outside diameter than a standard patch lead. That slimmer profile frees up space on densely populated patch panels, improves airflow through switches and servers, and makes it easier to trace or replace individual connections.

The unshielded twisted-pair construction is tested to ANSI and TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so you can deploy the cable in data centers, telecom rooms, or office wiring closets with confidence. Contacts plated with 50 microns of gold resist corrosion and maintain solid signal integrity over time, and the snagless boot protects the latch when you snake the cable through tight openings or remove it from a switch port.

Because this model is only two feet long, it is ideal for short patch-panel to switch runs, top-of-rack links, or any place where excess slack would create clutter. Network administrators, system integrators, and IT staff who manage high-density equipment stacks will appreciate how the slim design reduces congestion without compromising speed. If you need to follow color-coded cable management schemes, the Slim-Net family offers several colors and lengths, making it easy to mix and match while keeping performance consistent.
