Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-GRY Cat6 Patch Cable 1 Ft Gray

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-GRY is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable measuring 1 foot in length with a gray jacket. Cat6 cables support data transmission at up to 1 Gbps for standard Ethernet applications and are backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. At 1 foot, this cable is suited for short runs between adjacent equipment — rack-mounted switches, patch panels, and closely positioned devices where cable management and minimal slack matter. Network technicians and structured-cabling installers use this cable for terminating equipment bays, labeling runs, and maintaining clean rack installations.

This patch cable is designed for use in residential and light commercial structured-cabling installations. Typical applications include connecting a patch panel port to a nearby switch port, linking two rack-mounted devices in the same unit, or providing a clean, color-coded connection inside network enclosures and AV distribution systems. The gray jacket assists with color-coded cable management schemes common in professional installations.

Key Features

• Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth structured-cabling systems
• 1-foot length minimizes cable slack in tight rack or enclosure installations
• Gray jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• Sold individually — one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6 and Cat5e structured-cabling infrastructure using standard RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Cat6 patch cables are typically installed by structured-cabling technicians or low-voltage installers. Verify that both termination points use RJ45 jacks rated for Cat6 or higher before connecting. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade cable performance. Low-voltage cabling installations may be subject to local codes referencing NEC Article 800 for communications wiring.
