icpcsj.5bl-10 Cat 5e Patch Cord 6in Blue 10 Pack

Product Description

The icpcsj.5bl-10 is a Category 5e RJ-45 molded boot patch cord sold in a 10-pack, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Each cord is built with 4-pair 24 AWG bare copper stranded wire inside a CMG / FT4 fire-rated jacket. The ultra slim low-profile boot protects the locking tab without adding width to the plug body, making these cords suitable for high-density patch panels and standard switch ports alike. All cords are 100 percent tested to ANSI/TIA-568 component-rated performance standards and have demonstrated headroom of up to 9.1 dB under component-rated testing.

These 6-inch patch cords are intended for short runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment in telecom closets, server rooms, and structured wiring enclosures. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management. The low-profile boot design makes them especially practical in high-density environments where adjacent ports are closely spaced and standard boot plugs create access problems. Network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT installers are the primary trades that specify and install these cords.

Key Features

• 4-pair 24 AWG bare copper stranded wire construction
• CMG / FT4 fire-rated jacket for use in commercial plenum and riser applications
• Ultra slim low-profile boot protects tab without increasing plug width
• 100 percent tested to ANSI/TIA-568 component-rated standards
• Up to 9.1 dB headroom under component-rated testing
• Blue jacket for color-coded cable management; 6-inch length for short patch runs

Compatibility

Designed as a component-rated CAT 5e patch cord compatible with standard RJ-45 ports on network switches, patch panels, and wall jacks in structured cabling systems meeting ANSI/TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling contractors or IT technicians and does not require electrical lockout procedures. Verify that destination ports and panels are rated for CAT 5e or higher before patching. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cord, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade signal performance. Follow ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines for patch cord length limits within the overall channel.
