Black Box 20ft Slim-Net CAT6A 28AWG Patch Cable (Yellow)

The Black Box C6APC28-YL-20 is a 20 foot Slim-Net CAT6A patch cable that delivers dependable 10 gigabit Ethernet connectivity while freeing valuable space in crowded racks and cable managers. Because it uses 28AWG stranded conductors, the cable has a smaller outside diameter than conventional 24AWG patch leads, which keeps bundles flexible and allows better airflow around active equipment.

Installers gain extra finger room when working on densely populated patch panels, and network technicians can trace or reroute this thinner cable quickly during moves, adds, and changes. The unshielded twisted pair construction meets the performance limits defined by ANSI and TIA-568-C.2 for CAT6A, so it supports 10GBASE-T links across the entire 20 foot length without compromise.

Each RJ45 plug uses 50 micron gold plated contacts that maintain low contact resistance and long-term signal integrity. A molded snagless boot shields the latch from snags or impact when the cable is pulled through tight pathways, reducing the chance of accidental disconnects and extending service life.

The bright yellow jacket provides an immediate visual cue for cable identification, making it easy to reserve specific colors for uplinks, voice circuits, or test benches. Whether you are designing a high density data center, upgrading a campus wiring closet, or organizing a home lab, this slim cable helps keep the installation neat and efficient without sacrificing speed.

Highlights:

• 20 foot CAT6A patch cable rated for 10 gigabit Ethernet
• 28AWG conductors create a low profile design that saves space and improves airflow
• Unshielded twisted pair construction that meets or exceeds TIA-568-C.2 requirements
• 50 micron gold plated contacts for reliable, high performance connectivity
• Molded snagless boots protect latches during installation and removal
• Yellow jacket simplifies cable tracing and network segmentation
