Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-YLW Cat6 Patch Cable 1 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-1FT-YLW is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable in a 1-foot yellow jacket. It is designed to connect network devices at structured cabling termination points, patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and cable management in dense rack or panel environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for short jumper runs where a pre-terminated, factory-assembled patch cable is required.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial structured wiring installations. It is commonly used at the termination point between a patch panel and a network switch, or between a wall outlet and a device. The 1-foot length makes it appropriate for tight rack installations where a longer cable would create unnecessary slack. Low-voltage technicians installing home automation, security, or data distribution systems will find this cable a standard component in any structured wiring enclosure or rack build.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 1-foot length designed for short patch panel to switch jumper runs
• Yellow jacket for easy visual cable identification and management
• Factory-terminated ends for reliable, consistent connectivity
• Backward compatible with Cat5e network infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels, network switches, routers, and RJ45 wall jacks in structured wiring installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network installers. No special tools are required beyond standard patch panel and switch port connections. Ensure the RJ45 connectors seat fully and the locking tab clicks into place before routing the cable. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for patch cable management and bend radius guidelines.
