Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-3FT-RED Cat6 Patch Cable 3ft Red

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-3FT-RED is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured wiring applications in residential and commercial installations. Measuring 3 feet in length and finished in red for easy circuit identification, this cable connects network devices to patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. Cat6 wiring supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and AV integrators rely on patch cables like this one to complete clean, organized structured cabling runs in server rooms, distribution frames, and home network enclosures.

This cable is suited for use in residential home networks, small business data closets, AV equipment racks, and structured wiring panels. The 3-foot length makes it practical for short device-to-panel runs or switch-to-switch connections where cable management and color coding are priorities. The red jacket helps technicians quickly trace and identify specific circuits in dense patch panel environments without disturbing adjacent connections.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 3-foot length suits short patch panel and switch port runs
• Red jacket supports color-coded circuit identification and cable management
• Backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure and equipment
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 ports on Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians should verify that existing patch panels and keystone jacks are rated Cat6 or higher before installing Cat6 patch cables to maintain full performance. No special tools are required for standard patch connections. Follow TIA-568 wiring standards for structured cabling installations. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable jacket, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance.
