Ortronics MC6A10-04 Cat6a Patch Cable 10 Feet Yellow

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC6A10-04 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. At 10 feet in length, this cable provides the reach needed for equipment rack connections, patch panel terminations, and horizontal runs between wall outlets and workstation devices. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for high-bandwidth data applications. The yellow jacket allows for quick visual identification by cable type or network segment, a common practice in organized cabling systems. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades handling this type of patch cable.

This patch cable is suited for use in commercial office environments, data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling installations where Cat6A performance is required. It connects switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects. The 10-foot length covers typical horizontal distances from patch panels to active equipment within a rack or from a wall outlet to a nearby workstation. Yellow jacket color is commonly used to designate specific network segments or cable types in organized cabling installations.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 10-foot length suitable for rack-to-device and outlet-to-workstation runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6A patch cable for use with Cat6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports on switches, routers, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Cat6A patch cables are typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Cables should be routed without sharp bends or kinks that could degrade signal performance. Avoid bundling patch cables too tightly with cable ties, as excessive compression can affect transmission characteristics. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installations in commercial environments.
