Wirepath WP-PC-CAT5E-1FT-RED Cat5e Patch Cable 1ft Red

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT5E-1FT-RED is a Cat5e Ethernet patch cable in a 1-foot length with a red jacket. Cat5e cabling supports network speeds up to 1 Gbps and is rated for 100 MHz bandwidth, making it a standard choice for structured wiring in residential and light commercial installations. This short-run cable is used to connect network equipment in tight spaces, such as patch panel ports to switch ports in a rack or enclosure. Low-voltage installers and network technicians use this cable for organized, color-coded patch bay layouts.

The 1-foot length is well suited for rack-mounted installations where switch ports and patch panels are in close proximity. The red jacket aids in visual identification within dense patch fields, simplifying troubleshooting and port management. It is sold as a single cable and is appropriate for structured wiring enclosures, server rooms, and AV equipment bays in residential and commercial environments.
