Icc ICPCSW05YL Cat6 Patch Cord Clear Boot

Product Description

The ICC Int'l Connectors Cable ICPCSW05YL is a Cat6 patch cord fitted with a clear boot, used to terminate and connect structured cabling runs in network and low-voltage data systems. Cat6 patch cords carry Ethernet signals between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices, supporting the bandwidth demands of modern commercial and residential network installations. The clear boot protects the RJ45 locking tab from accidental breakage during installation and moves while still allowing visual inspection of the conductor terminations. This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians, network integrators, and electricians working on structured cabling systems.

The ICPCSW05YL is suited for use in horizontal and vertical cable management applications within data closets, server rooms, and wall-outlet-to-device connections. It fits standard 568-compliant patch panel ports and RJ45 keystone jacks. Typical installation scenarios include office network buildouts, AV system tie-ins, and telecommunications room cross-connects. The cable performs to Cat6 specifications, making it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed data applications in both new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Cat6-rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• Clear boot protects the RJ45 locking tab and allows visual verification of conductor seating
• Terminates with standard RJ45 connectors for compatibility with 568-compliant ports and jacks
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantities for structured cabling projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use Cat6 patch cord compatible with 568-compliant RJ45 patch panel ports, keystone jacks, and network equipment interfaces in low-voltage structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians working under applicable structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568. Ensure the destination port and source port are both de-energized from PoE or active switching equipment before handling in sensitive environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cable to maintain signal integrity. Verify the RJ45 locking tab is fully seated and the clear boot is positioned correctly before completing the run.
