Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-3FT-BLK Cat6 Patch Cable 3 Ft Black

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-3FT-BLK is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable measuring 3 feet in length with a black jacket. It is designed for structured wiring and low-voltage data network applications in residential and light commercial installations. Cat6 patch cables connect network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices, carrying Gigabit Ethernet and supporting bandwidth up to 250 MHz. Low-voltage installers, network technicians, and A/V integrators use this cable to make short runs between active equipment and wall ports or patch panels.

This 3-foot cable is well suited for rack-mounted equipment connections, short desktop runs, and home-run terminations at patch panels in structured wiring enclosures. The black jacket blends into standard rack environments and equipment closets. It ships as a single unit, making it easy to stock multiples for kit builds or service calls where short patch runs are common.

Key Features

• Category 6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth applications
• 3-foot length suits rack-to-switch, panel-to-panel, and short desktop connections
• Black jacket for clean, consistent appearance in network racks and enclosures
• Sold individually, allowing flexible quantity purchasing for service kits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and Ethernet-enabled devices following TIA-568 Cat6 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured wiring installers and does not require power shutdown. Ensure RJ-45 connectors seat fully and the locking tab clicks before applying strain. Follow TIA-568 standards for patch cable management in racks and enclosures to maintain bend radius and avoid signal degradation. Do not zip-tie patch cables tightly alongside high-voltage runs.
