Wirepath WP-PC-CAT6-7FT-BLK Cat6 Patch Cable 7 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT6-7FT-BLK is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable measuring 7 feet in length with a black jacket. It is designed to provide a reliable copper data connection between network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices in structured wiring installations. Cat6 cabling supports data transmission up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and high-throughput network applications. Low-voltage technicians, network integrators, and A/V installers typically deploy this cable in residential and light commercial structured media enclosures, home theater equipment racks, and server closets.

This patch cable is well suited for terminating runs inside structured media centers, connecting network equipment in distribution panels, or linking workstation drops to wall-outlet ports. The 7-foot length provides flexibility in equipment rack installations where a short, managed run is preferred over a bulk field-terminated cable. It is sold as a single unit and is a finished, factory-terminated assembly ready for immediate deployment.

Key Features

• Category 6 specification supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 7-foot length suits rack-mount and structured media enclosure applications
• Black jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable installations
• Factory-terminated ends deliver consistent insertion loss and return loss performance
• Ready-to-install assembly eliminates field termination time

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, switches, routers, and other 8P8C-terminated network equipment conforming to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network integrators and requires no special tools beyond standard hand pressure to seat the RJ-45 connectors. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension to maintain cable geometry and signal integrity. Route cable away from AC power runs where possible to reduce electromagnetic interference, in accordance with TIA-569 pathway and space guidelines. Inspect both ends for fully seated connector tabs before securing cable in the raceway or enclosure.
