Connector Cables

Slim Fit

Black Box Slim-Net CAT6A patch cables feature a low-profile design that saves space and reduces clutter in crowded telecom rooms, data centers, and other high-density 10G networking applications. When you calculate this 28-AWG physical cable area in bundles and in patching connections, you actually save more than 50 percent space when compared to traditional cables.

Easier Cable Handling

Because there's more space between patched 28-AWG cables, there's more space for your fingers during installs and MACs. An added benefit is improved airflow and port visibility.

Reduced Cable Management

These 28-AWG cables have a small footprint and great flexibility, making it easy to route them without a cable manager. In addition, you can gain more than 50 percent space in vertical cable managers.

Conserve Rack Space

A major benefit of 28-AWG cables is they allow you to put more cables in high-density 1U or 2U patch panels, freeing up valuable rack units. You can also eliminate or reduce the number of horizontal cable managers, opening up even more space.

Big Performance in a Small Cable

Black Box Slim-Net cables meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards, ensuring the transmission of your 10G Ethernet signaling. They feature a robust construction that includes 50-micron gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity. These cables have connectors designed for the insertion and extraction life of 750 cycles, making for an ultra-reliable solution that you can count on to perform. They also feature snagless boots that provide extra strain relief and prevent connector damage due to cable snags during installation. Available in a variety of lengths and colors, Black Box's Slim-Net line of cabling gives you the flexibility to build your install however you want.

• Prevent unauthorized personnel from disrupting vital network connections.
• Protect publicly accessible network connections.
• Avoid downtime from accidental disconnects.
• Cables stay locked in place-until YOU take them out

These one-of-a-kind cables give you the ability to lock down critical network ports when you need to-without buying new patch cords.

Use these component-level cables for your everyday network connections. Then if you decide you need to secure network ports, you can. Just slip an optional Locking Pin into the built-in locking tab on the patented, slimline boot. Now your connection is absolutely protected from unauthorized removal and accidental disconnects. To unplug the cable, release with the Removal Key (sold separately).

Rugged, patented boots.
No one is going to break these boots or pull out your cable! The cable is integrated into the extremely rugged, hard-polymer shell to protect it and to prevent tampering. The boot's snag-free, slimline form fits all standard RJ-45 openings.

Premium performance.
You won't sacrifice performance for security. These component-level cables are tested to 650 MHz and guaranteed for life. Choose from four colors and six lengths. CAT6 cables are also available.

These cables work with:

• Removal Tool
• GigaTrue 3 Locking Cables
• CAT6A Patch Panel
