Icc ICPCST05RD Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Foot Red

Product Description

The ICC ICPCST05RD is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential environments. It features a clear boot connector and a red jacket for easy circuit identification and cable management. This cable delivers the bandwidth and performance standards required for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications. It ships as a single unit and is suited for use between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable for organized, reliable horizontal and vertical runs in data closets and equipment racks.

The ICPCST05RD is used in Cat6 structured cabling systems where color-coded patch cables are needed for quick visual identification of network segments or circuits. The red jacket makes it easy to distinguish specific ports or VLANs in high-density patch panel environments. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, office networks, and residential network closets. The clear boot protects the RJ45 locking tab while keeping the connector type visible at a glance.

Key Features

• Cat6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• Red jacket provides clear visual identification for cable management
• Clear boot protects the RJ45 locking tab and keeps connector visible
• 5-foot length suited for short patch panel and equipment connections
• Single-unit packaging for flexible stocking and individual replacement use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Cat6 and Cat6e-compatible switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle this cable as part of structured cabling work governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for termination since both ends come factory-terminated with RJ45 connectors. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Power down or log out of managed switch ports before patching to avoid unintended network changes.
