Ortronics MCS625-02 Ftp Patch Cord Clarity 6 25 Ft 26 Awg

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MCS625-02 is a shielded FTP patch cord in the Clarity 6 series, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Built to 26 AWG conductor sizing, this 25-foot cord provides a foiled twisted-pair construction that reduces electromagnetic interference in high-density wiring closets and equipment rooms. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors use this patch cord to connect patch panels, switches, and networked equipment in Category 6 horizontal cabling systems. The shielded design makes it suitable for environments with elevated EMI exposure.

This patch cord is intended for use in structured cabling systems where Category 6 performance is required. Typical install scenarios include data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial office environments. The 25-foot length accommodates longer runs within an equipment rack or between adjacent racks. The Clarity 6 designation indicates alignment with the Clarity 6 cabling system product family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the terminating equipment supports shielded cabling before deploying FTP patch cords, as mixing shielded cords with unshielded panels can degrade system performance. De-energize or power down connected equipment before patching in active environments where practical. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius to preserve cable geometry and signal integrity.
