Icc ICPCST05BK Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Foot Black

Product Description

The ICC ICPCST05BK is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling applications in commercial and residential network installations. This cable ships with a clear boot and a black jacket, providing a clean, professional appearance at the patch panel or switch port. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission at up to 1 Gbps for standard runs and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers commonly deploy this cable type for horizontal and equipment-room connections in data, voice, and video distribution systems.

This patch cable is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and structured cabling installations. It fits standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels in both commercial and light industrial environments. The clear boot protects the locking tab during repeated insertions and removals at high-density panel locations, making it practical for active patching environments where cables are frequently moved or reseated.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated construction for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Black PVC jacket for clean identification in patch panel environments
• Clear snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and moves
• 5-foot length suits typical equipment-room and patch-panel-to-switch runs
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard structured cabling terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable for Cat6 and Cat5e structured cabling systems terminated with RJ45 patch panels, switches, and wall outlets.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle deployment of Cat6 patch cables under TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No power shutdown is required, but any active switch port should be administratively disabled before patching in sensitive network environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties excessively tight, as either condition can degrade signal performance on Cat6 runs.
