Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-BRN CAT6 Patch Cable 5 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-BRN is a Category 6 patch cable measuring 5 feet in length with a brown jacket. CAT6 patch cables carry structured network signals between network switches, patch panels, and end devices. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications common in commercial AV installations, data closets, and structured wiring panels. The brown jacket color allows technicians to use color-coded cable management practices, making it straightforward to distinguish network segments or zones at a glance. Low-voltage installers and network technicians reach for this type of cable during rack builds, panel terminations, and device connections.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial structured wiring applications. It is commonly installed in server rooms, AV equipment racks, home network panels, and anywhere a short, reliable CAT6 connection is needed between two RJ45 ports. The 5-foot length works well for short runs within a rack or between adjacent wall ports and nearby equipment.

Key Features

• CAT6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• 5-foot length suits short rack-to-device and panel-to-switch connections

• Sold individually, allowing purchase of exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable compatible with any RJ45-equipped network switch, patch panel, router, or end device meeting CAT6 or CAT5e port specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle CAT6 patch cable installations. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards where applicable.
