Vanco SCAT6-3BK Cat6 Slim Patch Cable 3 Foot Black

Product Description

The VANCO SCAT6-3BK is a Category 6 slim patch cable in black, designed for structured network installations where cable management and port density are priorities. The slim jacket profile reduces bulk in patch panels and switch enclosures, making it easier to route multiple cables in tight spaces. This cable is used by low-voltage technicians and network installers in both residential and light commercial settings. It ships as a single unit and measures 3 feet in length, making it well suited for short rack-to-switch or panel-to-panel runs.

This patch cable fits standard patch panel and switch deployments where Cat6 performance is required. The 3-foot length is a common choice for top-of-rack wiring in server closets, AV equipment racks, and structured wiring enclosures. Low-voltage technicians and IT installers typically use this cable to terminate equipment connections at patch panels or to link adjacent switches and routers in a rack.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Slim jacket design reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in dense patch environments
• 3-foot length suits short rack-to-switch and panel-to-panel runs
• Black jacket for easy color-coded cable management
• Ships as a single cable, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment supporting Category 6 or lower cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools beyond standard patch cable handling practices. Ensure RJ45 ports are free of debris before seating the connector. Low-voltage installers should follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for patch cord routing and bend radius. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the slim jacket, as the reduced diameter can be more susceptible to physical damage than standard-jacket cables.
