Wirepath WP-PC-CAT5E-3FT-BLK Cat 5e Patch Cable 3ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT5E-3FT-BLK is a Cat 5e Ethernet patch cable measuring 3 feet in length with a black jacket. Patch cables at this category rating support data transmission up to 100 MHz and are standard for structured cabling environments. This cable connects network devices — switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices — over short runs. Low-voltage installers, network technicians, and A/V integrators use cables like this daily for termination, equipment rack wiring, and device patching.

This 3-foot patch cable is suited for tight rack installations, equipment closets, and desktop connections where a short, organized run is needed. The black jacket integrates cleanly into rack environments where color-coded cable management is in use. Typical applications include connecting patch panel ports to switch ports, linking workstations to wall jacks, and short device-to-device runs in residential and light commercial structured cabling installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 5e patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices in residential and light commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers. Ensure the cable is seated fully until the RJ45 locking tab clicks into the port. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Reference TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installation guidelines.
