Icc ICPCST14BK Cat6 Clear Boot Patch Cord

Product Description

The ICC - INT'L CONNECTORS CABLE ICPCST14BK is a Cat6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It features a clear boot over the RJ45 connector, which protects the latch tab during installation and day-to-day use while allowing technicians to visually confirm the cable jacket color without removing the boot. Built to Cat6 performance standards, this patch cord supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications. Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers use this cord to terminate horizontal runs at patch panels, wall jacks, and network switches.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 standards for Cat6 wiring. Typical applications include data center cross-connects, server rack patch panel terminations, and workstation drops in office or commercial facilities. The clear boot design makes it a practical choice in high-density environments where cable identification is important and physical connector protection reduces call-back service visits.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth applications
• Clear boot protects RJ45 latch tab and allows visual cable jacket identification
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard patch panel and switch connections
• Sold individually as a single unit, suitable for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Cat6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent performance degradation. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or on a non-disruptive network segment before disconnecting active connections.
