Wirepath WP-PC-C6SH-7-BLK Cat6 Patch Cable 7 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-C6SH-7-BLK is a Category 6 patch cable measuring 7 feet in length, finished in black. Cat6 patch cables carry structured network data between switches, patch panels, wall jacks, and end devices. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making it a standard choice for low-voltage network installations in both residential and light commercial environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers use this cable for horizontal and equipment-bay runs where a pre-terminated, ready-to-deploy solution is needed.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling installations in residential homes, commercial offices, and equipment racks. It connects network switches to patch panels, patch panels to wall ports, and active equipment to distribution frames. The 7-foot length fits standard equipment-bay and short-run applications where a longer cable would create excess slack. The black jacket color supports organized, color-coded cable management practices common in professional network installations.

Key Features

• Cat6-rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet network performance
• 7-foot length suited for equipment bay and short horizontal runs
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling systems
• Pre-terminated, ready-to-install design reduces field termination time
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6-compliant structured cabling systems using 8P8C RJ45 connections.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable deployment. De-energize or power down active switch ports and equipment before seating or removing patch cables in live environments where ESD sensitivity is a concern. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling practices, and avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to preserve cable performance. Ensure both termination points are Cat6-rated to maintain full channel compliance.
