Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-BLK Cat 6 Patch Cable 1 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-BLK is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable measuring 1 foot in length with a black jacket. Cat 6 patch cables carry structured network cabling connections between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. This cable meets Cat 6 performance standards, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications in both residential and light commercial low-voltage network installations. Network installers and low-voltage technicians use short patch cables like this one for high-density rack and panel termination work where cable management and tight routing are critical.

A 1-foot Cat 6 patch cable is well suited for structured cabling installations where panel-to-switch connections require minimal slack. Typical applications include 19-inch rack environments, wall-mount enclosures, and data closets where switch ports sit directly adjacent to patch panel ports. The short length keeps cable runs tidy and reduces clutter in organized rack builds.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for high-bandwidth network performance
• 1-foot length designed for short-run rack and panel connections
• Black jacket for visual organization and color-coded cable management
• Standard RJ45 connectors on both ends for universal compatibility
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat 6 and Cat 6E structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panel and switch port connections.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians typically install Cat 6 patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices. Ensure the patch cable is not kinked or bent beyond its minimum bend radius during routing. Verify that both the patch panel port and the switch port are seated and latched securely before commissioning the circuit.
