Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-PUR Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-PUR is a Category 6 patch cable in purple, designed for structured network wiring applications. At 5 feet in length, it provides a short, manageable run between network equipment such as patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network connections. The purple jacket color aids in visual cable management and circuit identification on busy patch panels. This cable ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the box.

This patch cable is used in residential and light commercial structured wiring installations. Common applications include connecting a wall outlet to a desktop computer, linking ports on a patch panel to a network switch, or extending a run between two network devices in a rack or wiring closet. The 5-foot length is well suited for short hops within a server rack or equipment cabinet. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary users of this product.

Key Features

• Category 6 construction supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable for Cat6 and Cat5e network ports including patch panels, network switches, routers, and wall jacks in structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable deployment. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, as kinking can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating the RJ45 connectors.
