Icc ICPCSH10BL Cat 6 Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The ICC ICPCSH10BL is a slim Cat 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to Category 6 performance standards, it delivers reliable gigabit Ethernet connectivity with reduced diameter construction that helps manage cable density in tight spaces such as patch panels, server racks, and network closets. The clear snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage and cable-pull frustration during moves, adds, and changes. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord wherever a standard Cat 6 patch cable is required but bend radius and port spacing demand a slimmer profile.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-side connections in structured cabling systems following TIA-568 standards. Typical applications include connecting patch panel ports to switch ports, workstation drops to wall jacks, and inter-rack jumpers in network equipment rooms. The slim jacket design allows denser port utilization in 1U and 2U patch panels without blocking adjacent ports. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and cable plant maintenance work.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance rating supports gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T at shorter distances
• Slim jacket profile improves cable management in high-density patch panels and switch ports
• Clear snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch and eases extraction from crowded port fields
• Molded strain relief reduces flex fatigue at the termination point
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual replacement or incremental additions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat 6 patch cord compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and switch ports in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat 6 patch cord installation. No tools are required for patch cord connections; simply seat the RJ45 plug fully until the latch clicks. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines and avoid sharp kinks that can degrade signal performance. Do not route alongside high-voltage power cables without maintaining proper separation per NEC Article 800.
