Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-GRY Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Foot Gray

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-GRY is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable measuring 5 feet in length, finished in gray. It is designed to connect network devices — switches, patch panels, routers, and wall jacks — in structured wiring installations. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. This cable is sold as a single unit and is a standard choice for low-voltage network technicians running clean, organized patch field connections in residential and light commercial installations.

This patch cable is suited for use in home network closets, commercial data racks, and AV equipment bays where a short, manageable cable run is needed. The 5-foot length keeps patch bay wiring tight and reduces cable management burden. Low-voltage installers and network technicians use this cable type when terminating structured wiring panels or connecting AV and data devices in finished installations.

Key Features

• Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates
• 5-foot length suited for patch panel and rack-level connections
• Gray jacket finish for visual organization and color-coding in multi-cable environments
• Single-unit packaging for flexible quantity purchasing
• Backward compatible with Cat5e network infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, switches, and network devices in residential and light commercial structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network installers. Verify that all connected ports and panels are rated for Cat6 before installation. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable jacket, as these can degrade signal performance. No tools are required for standard plug-and-play connections; follow TIA-568 wiring standards for any associated panel terminations.
