Ortronics MCS6A09-04 Cat 6A Ftp Patch Cord 9 Ft 26 Awg

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MCS6A09-04 is a Category 6A foiled twisted pair (FTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Measuring 9 feet in length and constructed with 26 AWG conductors, this cord supports high-bandwidth data transmission up to the Cat 6A standard. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification by circuit or zone. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cord at patch panels, switches, and network access ports where reliable Category 6A performance is required.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room connections in commercial buildings, data centers, and server closets. The FTP construction uses an overall foil shield to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for dense cabling environments where unshielded cables may not meet performance requirements. The 9-foot length covers typical equipment-rack and wall-port-to-device runs without excess slack.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated for high-bandwidth structured cabling applications
• FTP foil shield reduces alien crosstalk and EMI in dense installations
• 26 AWG conductors in a 9-foot length for equipment-room and patch-panel runs
• Yellow jacket for visual circuit identification and zone management
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6A shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches that accept standard RJ45 FTP connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors. Ensure all patch panels and port hardware are rated for Category 6A shielded terminations before connecting FTP cords. Grounding of the shielded infrastructure at one end is standard practice to avoid ground loops. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper routing and bend radius.
