Ortronics MC6A05-07 Cat6a Patch Cord 5 Feet Violet

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC6A05-07 is a Cat6A patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This 5-foot cord is finished in violet, which supports color-coded patching schemes commonly used to identify specific network segments, VLANs, or service types. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord suitable for high-bandwidth backbone and horizontal runs. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use patch cords like this at patch panels, switches, and wall outlets to complete structured cabling channels.

This patch cord is intended for use in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and office network installations where Cat6A performance is required. The violet jacket aids in visual cable management and port identification at high-density patch panels. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and ongoing moves, adds, and changes in existing structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat6A structured cabling systems and compatible with Cat6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches meeting TIA-568 Cat6A channel requirements.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically install structured cabling patch cords. No tools are required for standard RJ45 patch cord installation. Follow TIA-568 standards for proper channel performance and bend radius guidelines to avoid signal degradation. Power down or place ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live production environments where network disruption is a concern.
