Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-YLW Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-5FT-YLW is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured wiring installations in residential and light commercial settings. At 5 feet in length and finished in yellow, this cable provides a short, high-visibility run suitable for connecting network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. Installers use yellow-jacketed cables as a common color-coding convention for specific network segments or VLAN identification. Sold individually as a single unit.

This patch cable fits standard structured wiring and low-voltage data distribution environments. Typical applications include rack-to-device connections in data closets, short horizontal runs in wall or desk installations, and patch panel terminations in residential AV and network systems. The 5-foot length suits rack and enclosure work where cable management demands a short, clean run between adjacent ports or equipment bays.

Key Features

• Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 5-foot length suited for rack, panel, and short device-to-device runs
• Yellow jacket provides visual identification for network segment color-coding
• Standard RJ45 connectors on each end for universal compatibility
• Sold as a single cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Cat6 and Cat5e network infrastructure including patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface cards with RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers following TIA-568 wiring standards. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable jacket, as excessive bend radius can degrade signal integrity in Cat6 runs. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or placed in a safe state before disconnecting active network links.
