Optical Cable Corp. PC6AU-1010 Cat6a Utp Patch Cable 10ft

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. PC6AU-1010 is a Cat6a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cable finished in purple and measuring 10 feet in length. Designed for structured cabling installations, it supports augmented Category 6a performance, delivering bandwidth up to 500 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbps over copper. The cable is suited for connecting network switches, patch panels, servers, and end-user devices in both horizontal and vertical runs. Electricians and low-voltage technicians commonly specify Cat6a UTP in environments where channel lengths and interference management are engineering considerations.

The PC6AU-1010 is intended for use in commercial and residential structured cabling applications. Its 10-foot length suits equipment rack patching, workstation drops, and short server room connections. The purple jacket color provides a visual identification convention useful in organized wiring closets and data centers where cable color coding is part of the installation standard. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat6a UTP construction supports 10 Gbps Ethernet applications
• Unshielded twisted pair design simplifies termination and routing
• 10-foot length suited for rack patching and short horizontal runs
• Purple jacket aids visual identification in color-coded cabling systems
• Packaged as a single cable (1 EA per unit)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6a-compliant structured cabling systems using RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians install Cat6a patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. Ensure connectors seat fully into RJ45 ports before securing cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable's minimum bend rating, as this can degrade signal performance. De-energize and power down network equipment before disconnecting active patch cables in live environments.
