International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY01YL Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY01YL is a 1-foot, Category 6 slim patch cord designed for high-density network deployments where cable bulk is a constraint. Its reduced outer diameter (OD) and 28 AWG construction allow for easier routing in tight spaces, such as within server racks or network closets. The snag-free strain relief boots prevent cable damage during installation and removal, ensuring connection integrity. This pack contains ten yellow cords, facilitating color-coded network infrastructure management.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 patch cord is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards and suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) networks up to 550 MHz. It is designed to connect network devices such as switches, routers, servers, patch panels, and workstations. The reduced cable OD is particularly beneficial for high-density switch ports and patch panel configurations where standard bulkier cables would impede airflow and port access.

Installation Notes

The low-profile, snag-free strain relief boots simplify installation in confined spaces, preventing accidental disconnections and protecting the cable termination points. The 28 AWG construction offers greater flexibility than standard 24 AWG cables, allowing for tighter bends without signal degradation. The yellow color aids in visual identification and segregation of network segments.
