Vanco SCAT6-5BK Cat6 Slim Patch Cable 5 Feet Black

Product Description

The VANCO SCAT6-5BK is a slim-profile Cat6 patch cable measuring 5 feet in length with a black jacket. Designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications, this cable delivers reliable Category 6 performance in a reduced-diameter form factor that helps manage cable density in tight spaces such as patch panels, server racks, and network closets. The slim design allows for improved airflow and easier cable routing without sacrificing Cat6 data transmission capability. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, IT professionals, and electricians working on data cabling projects.

This patch cable is suited for use in both residential and commercial network installations. The 5-foot length makes it a practical choice for short runs between patch panels and switches, or between wall jacks and nearby equipment. Its black jacket blends into most rack environments and helps with color-coded cable management schemes. The slim construction is especially useful in high-density patch panel setups where standard-diameter cables create airflow and routing challenges.

Key Features

• Slim-profile jacket reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in high-density installations
• Cat6 performance supporting standard network data transmission requirements
• 5-foot length suited for short panel-to-switch or device-to-jack runs
• Black jacket for clean aesthetics and color-coded cable management
• Single unit packaging for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e keystone jacks, patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface cards using standard RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians qualified for data cabling work. Ensure both RJ45 ports are free of debris before seating the connectors. Route cables away from high-voltage runs in accordance with NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. Do not bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, as sharp bends can degrade signal performance.
