Wirepath WP-PC-C6TR-5-BLK Cat6 Patch Cable 5ft Black

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-C6TR-5-BLK is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable in a 5-foot length, finished in black. Designed for structured wiring installations, it provides a reliable copper data connection between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. This cable is suited for low-voltage installers, IT professionals, and AV integrators working in residential and light commercial environments where a short, clean run is needed.

This patch cable is commonly used in server closets, home network panels, entertainment equipment racks, and desktop workstation drops. The 5-foot length is practical for short panel-to-switch connections or device-to-wall-plate links. The black jacket allows straightforward color-coding in installations where cable identification by color is part of the labeling scheme. Low-voltage contractors and network technicians are the typical installers for structured cabling of this type.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 5-foot length suited for short patch bay and equipment rack connections
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with standard RJ45 Cat6 and Cat5e jacks, patch panels, and network switches in residential and light commercial structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Cat6 patch cables are installed by low-voltage technicians and network professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and bundling with high-voltage conductors, as these conditions can degrade signal performance. Verify that all connected jacks and patch panel ports are rated for Cat6 or better to maintain rated performance across the link.
