Wirepath WP-PC-CAT5E-10FT-BLK Cat5e Patch Cable 10ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT5E-10FT-BLK is a Category 5e Ethernet patch cable in a 10-foot length with a black jacket. Cat5e cabling supports network data transmission and is the standard wiring choice for structured cabling runs between network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. This cable is used to make short, direct connections within equipment racks, server closets, and low-voltage data installations. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers use patch cables like this one to terminate and connect network infrastructure in both residential and light commercial environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs and equipment connections in residential and commercial network installations. It fits standard RJ45 ports found on network switches, routers, wall plates, and patch panels. The 10-foot length makes it practical for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch-panel connections where a short, managed run is needed. It is sold as a single cable per unit.

Key Features

• Category 5e specification supports standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet network speeds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with any RJ45-terminated network equipment, including switches, routers, patch panels, and wall plates in residential and commercial low-voltage data systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician following TIA-568 cabling standards. No tools are required for patch cable connections — simply seat the RJ45 connector firmly into the port until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable run, as these can degrade signal performance. Power down sensitive network equipment before disconnecting active cables when working in a live rack environment.
