Ultra-Slim 28 AWG Design Delivers Maximum Space Efficiency

The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 cable's revolutionary 28 AWG construction achieves a diameter of just 0.161 inches, making it nearly half the size of traditional 24 AWG cables. This ultra-compact design translates to over 50% space savings in cable bundles and patching connections, dramatically reducing clutter in high-density networking environments. The slim profile doesn't compromise on performance – these cables meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards while delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The reduced footprint improves airflow around equipment and provides better port visibility, making maintenance and troubleshooting significantly easier for network administrators.

Snagless Boot Protection Ensures Reliable Long-Term Performance

The integrated snagless boot design provides essential strain relief and connector protection during installation and daily operations. These boots prevent cable damage from snagging on adjacent equipment or cables, extending the operational life and maintaining signal integrity over time. Engineered for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, these connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and ensure superior conductivity. The transparent connector housing allows visual inspection of wire terminations, while the robust construction handles the demands of frequent moves, adds, and changes in dynamic network environments.

Technical Specifications

  • 750-cycle insertion/extraction rating
  • 50-micron gold-plated contact surfaces
  • Integrated strain relief protection
  • Transparent connector housing for inspection

Applications

  • Frequent equipment reconfiguration environments
  • High-traffic patching operations
  • Mission-critical network connections
  • Quality assurance and maintenance verification

Premium Construction Meets Enterprise Performance Standards

The cable's stranded copper conductors and CM-rated PVC jacket deliver enterprise-grade performance in a compact form factor. The yellow color coding provides instant visual identification in complex network installations, while the flexible construction allows for easy routing without requiring cable management accessories. This 1-foot length is ideal for short-run connections between adjacent equipment, patch panels, and wall plates. The cable's superior flexibility reduces stress on connected ports and allows for tighter bend radii without signal degradation, making it perfect for space-constrained installations where every inch matters.

Technical Specifications

  • Stranded copper conductor construction
  • CM-rated PVC jacket material
  • 1-foot optimized length for short runs
  • Enhanced flexibility for tight routing

Applications

  • Equipment-to-patch panel connections
  • Adjacent rack interconnections
  • Wall plate to switch linking
  • Space-constrained cabinet wiring
