Siemon Company MC6-07-05 Cat6 Utp Patch Cable

Product Description

The SIEMON COMPANY MC6-07-05 is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It follows the T568A/B wiring standard in a straight-through configuration, making it a direct-connect cable for linking network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission at up to 1 Gbps for standard runs and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. This cable is sold as a single unit and is a standard choice for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-bay runs in data centers, telecom closets, and general office or facility network installations. The straight-through wiring makes it appropriate for connecting dissimilar devices, such as a workstation to a network switch or a patch panel port to an access switch. Network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT installers are the typical end users for this type of cable.

Key Features

• Cat6 UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard 8P8C termination
• T568A/T568B wiring standard compliance for broad infrastructure compatibility
• Straight-through pinout for device-to-switch or device-to-panel connections
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit patch cable for Cat6 and Cat5e structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling contractors and network technicians typically install Cat6 patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Before replacing an existing cable in a live panel or switch, confirm the port is not carrying active traffic or power over Ethernet (PoE) to avoid service interruption. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and avoid sharp kinks or crimps that can degrade signal performance. Verify correct port labeling and patch documentation after installation to maintain accurate records.
