Ortronics MC6A05-06 Cat6a Patch Cable 5 Feet Blue

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC6A05-06 is a Category 6a (Cat6a) modular patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. This 5-foot cable is finished in blue for easy color-coded identification in high-density patch panels and switch ports. Cat6a cables support 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this patch cable suitable for demanding network infrastructure work. It is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and experienced IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and equipment room cabling applications where Cat6a performance is required. Typical install scenarios include data center server rack connections, switch-to-patch-panel runs, and workstation drops in commercial office builds. The blue jacket aids in visual cable management when multiple cable categories or network segments are present in the same enclosure or pathway.

Key Features

• Cat6a rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth support
• 5-foot length suits short equipment room and rack-to-rack runs
• Blue jacket enables color-coded cable management in multi-port environments
• Modular construction with standard RJ45 connectors for straightforward termination
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6a structured cabling systems using RJ45 patching in commercial and enterprise network installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling work should be performed by technicians familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or log out connected equipment before swapping active patch cables in live environments to prevent data interruption. Do not bend the cable below its minimum bend radius, and avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors to prevent interference. Cable management hardware such as patch panel rings or cable managers should be used to maintain proper dressing in rack enclosures.
