Ortronics MC625-07 Cat6 Patch Cord 25 Feet Purple

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC625-07 is a Cat6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Terminated with modular 8-position 8-conductor (8P8C) connectors on both ends, this 25-foot cord carries Ethernet data signals between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. The purple jacket provides quick visual identification in dense cable runs, helping technicians trace and manage connections at a glance. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure.

This patch cord is suited for data centers, server rooms, office cabling closets, and light industrial network installations. Installers use it to make final connections from patch panels to active equipment, or from wall jacks to workstation devices. The 25-foot length gives enough slack for cabinet-to-cabinet runs and equipment-to-rack connections without excess coil. The purple color coding is commonly used in network environments to designate specific VLANs, applications, or connection types per site convention.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance and backward compatibility with Cat5e cabling
• 25-foot length suits patch panel-to-switch and rack-to-rack runs
• Modular 8P8C connectors on both ends for standard RJ45 port compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with standard Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels, network switches, routers, and wall jacks fitted with 8P8C ports.

Installation Notes

Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers typically install patch cords as the final link in a structured cabling system. No tools are required for termination since connectors are factory-installed. Always route patch cords through cable management rings or panels to reduce strain and maintain bend radius. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for Cat6 channel performance when planning patch cord lengths within the overall channel.
