Optical Cable Corp. PCSIX06B02 Cat6 Patch Cable 6ft Black

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. PCSIX06B02 is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Measuring 6 feet in length and finished in black with a strain-relief boot, this cable supports high-speed data transmission over copper twisted-pair infrastructure. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for connecting network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

This patch cable is appropriate for horizontal and equipment-room runs where a short, managed connection is needed. The 6-foot length is a common choice for rack-to-switch connections, workstation drops, and patch panel terminations. The black jacket and molded boot aid in cable identification and reduce stress at the connector plug, which extends service life in high-density installations.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with Cat6 and backward-compatible Cat5e network ports, patch panels, and keystone jacks in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable installation. No tools are required for plug-in connections; ensure the locking tab fully seats before routing the cable. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and cable management to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends or tight bundling that could degrade performance at Cat6 frequencies.
