Ortronics MC6A25-08 Cat6a Patch Cord 25 Feet Gray

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC6A25-08 is a Category 6A patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. At 25 feet in length, this gray-jacketed cable provides the reach needed for longer cross-connect runs in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and equipment closets. Cat6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord a suitable choice for high-bandwidth applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of patch cord as part of permanent or temporary circuit connections between patch panels, switches, and other active equipment.

This patch cord is intended for use in horizontal or backbone structured cabling systems where Cat6A performance is specified. Typical applications include data center rack patching, server room infrastructure, and office network drops that require 10GbE support. The 25-foot length accommodates mid-range runs within a rack row or between adjacent equipment cabinets without requiring custom cable fabrication on site.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6A structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in commercial and enterprise network installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians and structured cabling contractors typically install Cat6A patch cords. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines and avoid sharp bends or tight cable ties that can degrade signal performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket. Deactivate ports at the switch or patch panel before disconnecting live circuits where network continuity is required.
