The cord measures 20 feet in length and uses 26AWG conductors, making it well suited for high-density cable management applications where flexibility and reduced bulk are priorities. The foil shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical in environments with high cable density or near power runs. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cat6A patch cord is intended for use in horizontal or equipment room patching scenarios, connecting switches, patch panels, and end devices in structured cabling systems that meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A performance standards. The FTP construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) applications and is commonly deployed in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and high-performance office networks where shielded cabling infrastructure is already in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCat6A FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides EMI shielding for noise-sensitive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-foot length suits equipment room and intermediate cross-connect patching runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26AWG conductor gauge allows increased flexibility and easier routing in dense cable trays and patch panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over a shielded Cat6A infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging for straightforward inventory and installation management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with shielded Cat6A structured cabling systems, compatible with shielded RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels that accept Cat6A FTP terminations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling contractors familiar with TIA-568 standards. Shielded patch cords require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure at both ends to function as intended — connecting an FTP cord to an unshielded (UTP) system will not provide the expected EMI protection. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit where possible and avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat6A cable. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Category\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cat6A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShielding Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA (Each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ORTRONICS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MCS6A20-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ORTRONICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557772919090,"sku":"MCS6A20-08","price":109.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ortronics-mcs6a20-08-ftp-cat6a-patch-cord-20ft-26awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
