Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-ORG Cat6 Patch Cable 5ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-ORG is a Category 6 patch cable measuring 5 feet in length, finished in orange jacket. Cat6 patch cables carry structured network data signals between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. The orange jacket aids in visual cable identification and color-coded cable management schemes common in structured wiring environments. This cable is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for installation by low-voltage technicians, network integrators, and electricians performing data infrastructure work in residential and light commercial settings.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs between network equipment and wall jacks, patch panel terminations, and short equipment-rack connections. The 5-foot length is a common choice for rack-to-switch or panel-to-switch links where cable management space is limited. Orange color coding is frequently used to designate specific network segments or VLANs in structured cabling installations.

Key Features

• Category 6 rating supports network data applications standard to modern structured wiring systems
• 5-foot length suits short patch panel, rack, and equipment connections
• Orange jacket allows visual identification and supports color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single cable for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with Cat6-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, switches, and network interface equipment in residential and commercial structured wiring installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified network integrators. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are Cat6 rated to maintain signal integrity at the cable category level. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during routing, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade cable performance. Follow applicable structured cabling standards such as TIA-568 for proper installation practices.
