Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-2FT-YLW Cat6 Patch Cable 2 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-2FT-YLW is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable in a 2-foot length with a yellow jacket. Designed for structured wiring and low-voltage data installations, this patch cable provides a direct, terminated connection between network devices, patch panels, switches, routers, and wall ports. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. The yellow jacket color aids in cable identification and organization in rack and panel environments, a common need in structured cabling work. Installers use this cable during rough-in finishing, rack dress-out, and equipment patching.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial structured wiring applications. Typical install scenarios include connecting a patch panel port to a network switch in a distribution enclosure, linking a desktop workstation to a nearby wall plate, or providing a short equipment jumper inside an AV or data rack. The 2-foot length keeps cable management clean in tight rack spaces where longer cables create unnecessary slack.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 2-foot length suits short rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch connections
• Yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable organization
• Pre-terminated patch cable — no field termination required
• Sold individually for single-run replacement or supplemental patching

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable for use with standard Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network ports in residential and commercial structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians are the primary trades handling Cat6 patch cable installations. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before swapping patch cables in live racks when disruption to connected devices must be avoided. No special tools are required for connecting pre-terminated patch cables. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for cable routing and bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
