Black Box 5ft Slim-Net CAT6 28AWG Ethernet Cable (Gray)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-GY-05 is a 5-foot Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed network connections while minimizing cable bulk. Its 28-AWG construction makes it significantly thinner than standard Ethernet cables, which helps reduce clutter and improve airflow in tight spaces such as data centers, telecom rooms, or crowded office environments. Supporting the 250-MHz CAT6 standard, it ensures consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance with connectors that feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts for enhanced signal quality and durability.

Key features

• 28-AWG cable thickness provides a slim, low-profile design that saves space and reduces cable clutter.
