Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-25FT-BLK Cat6 Patch Cable 25 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-25FT-BLK is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured wiring installations in residential and light commercial environments. Measuring 25 feet in length and finished in black, this cable provides a reliable copper data connection between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Cat6 cabling supports bandwidths up to 250 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. Low-voltage installers, network technicians, and AV integrators use this cable as a plug-and-run solution in new construction and retrofit wiring projects.

This patch cable is well suited for home network closets, structured media centers, commercial data rooms, and AV equipment racks. The 25-foot length gives installers enough slack for clean runs between wall jacks, patch panels, and active network equipment without excess cable bulk. Black jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in rack environments.

Key Features

• Cat6 rating supports bandwidth up to 250 MHz for high-speed data applications
• 25-foot length suits medium-distance rack-to-device and panel-to-switch runs
• Black jacket enables color-coded cable management in structured wiring installations
• Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 network infrastructure
• Sold individually for precise quantity purchasing on installation jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, wall jacks, and other 8P8C-compatible network equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle Cat6 patch cable deployment, which typically falls under TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No power shutoff is required, but active network ports should be unlinked before swapping cables in live rack environments to avoid unintended traffic disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation per NEC guidelines. Verify jacket color coding matches the site cable management plan before terminating runs.
