Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-25FT-RED Cat 6 Patch Cable 25 Ft Red

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-25FT-RED is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in residential and commercial environments. At 25 feet in length, it provides enough reach for panel-to-device runs, rack-to-switch connections, and wall-jack-to-equipment hookups. The red jacket allows for quick visual identification of cable runs by network zone, port type, or priority — a practical advantage in organized wiring closets and server rooms. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and AV integrators are the primary trades that specify and install this type of cable.

This patch cable suits a wide range of network installations including home runs from patch panels to switches, connections between network equipment in data racks, and short drops from wall jacks to workstations or access points. The 25-foot length handles most mid-length runs without excess slack. Red jacket color supports standard color-coding schemes used in structured wiring systems to differentiate network segments or service types.

Key Features

• Category 6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• 25-foot length suits mid-range panel-to-device and rack-to-switch runs
• Red jacket enables visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering per job

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6 patch cable compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ-45 ports on switches, routers, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians handle Cat 6 patch cable termination and routing. De-energize connected equipment before swapping active patch connections in live racks to avoid unintended network disruption. Route cables through proper cable management rings or D-rings to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Installations in commercial buildings may be subject to local codes governing plenum versus riser-rated cabling — confirm jacket rating requirements before rough-in.
