Optical Cable Corp. PCSIX14B04 Cat6 Patch Cable 14 Ft

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. PCSIX14B04 is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Measuring 14 feet in length and featuring a green jacket with a matching boot, this cable provides a reliable copper Ethernet connection between network devices, patch panels, and switches. Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-frequency data transmission compared to Cat5e, making it a standard choice for modern network infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling installers are the typical tradespeople who specify and terminate this type of patch cable.

This patch cable is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server closets, office workstation drops, and equipment rack installations. The green jacket color aids in visual cable management and zone identification on busy patch panels. At 14 feet, the cable length fits mid-range panel-to-switch runs or longer desktop connections without excess slack. It is sold as an individual unit, making it easy to stock for service calls or supplemental installs.

Key Features

• Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet data transmission
• 14-foot length suits mid-range rack and workstation patch runs
• Green jacket with matching boot for visual cable management and zone identification
• Pre-terminated patch cable eliminates field termination time
• Snag-resistant boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface devices in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network installers following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active ports when patching live switching equipment where possible to avoid disruption. Route cables through cable management arms and avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius. Do not staple or over-cinch with cable ties, as compression can degrade Cat6 performance.
