Ortronics MC6A04-09 Cat6a Patch Cable 4 Feet White

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC6A04-09 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cable a reliable choice for high-bandwidth data runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. At 4 feet in length, it is well suited for short equipment-bay connections and rack-mounted deployments. The white jacket provides easy color-coding in organized patch fields. Licensed cabling installers and network technicians are the primary trades that specify and terminate this type of cable.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and equipment-room cabling segments for structured wiring systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Typical applications include server room patch panels, LAN switch ports, and wall-outlet-to-device connections in commercial office, data center, and institutional settings. The 4-foot length covers common short-run scenarios without excess slack in tightly managed racks or cabinets.

Key Features

• Cat6A rating supports 10GbE data transmission at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• 4-foot length suited for short rack and panel connections
• White jacket supports color-coded patch field organization
• Factory-assembled construction ensures consistent termination quality
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6A patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and switch ports conforming to ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling specifications.

Installation Notes

Cat6A patch cables are installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors. No tools are required for insertion into RJ45 ports, but patch fields should be managed with cable managers to maintain bend-radius minimums and reduce signal interference. Installations in commercial buildings must comply with applicable NEC low-voltage cabling requirements, including plenum or riser jacket ratings where required by the cable pathway. Avoid sharp bends, kinking, or cinching with cable ties that exceed the cable manufacturer's minimum bend radius.
