Wirepath WP-PC-CAT5E-1FT-BLK Cat 5e Patch Cable 1ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT5E-1FT-BLK is a Cat 5e Ethernet patch cable measuring 1 foot in length with a black jacket. It is used to make short wired network connections between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Cat 5e cabling supports data transfer up to 1000 Mbps and is the standard for structured low-voltage network installations in both residential and commercial environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for tight-space terminations where a longer run would create excess slack at the patch panel or equipment rack.

This 1-foot patch cable is suited for use in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and AV equipment racks where short jumper connections are needed between adjacent ports. It is a common component in structured cabling systems, used to connect patch panel ports to network switches or to link nearby devices. The black jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and other 8P8C-terminated Ethernet equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network installers. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are properly terminated before connecting. Avoid sharp bends or tight tie-wraps that could degrade signal integrity in Cat 5e cabling.
