Ortronics RDC607-00 Cat6 Patch Cord 28AWG 7ft Black

Product Description

The ORTRONICS RDC607-00 is a Cat6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this 7-foot cord delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. The black jacket provides easy identification in high-density cable management situations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers rely on this type of patch cord to complete horizontal and vertical runs at the distribution point.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and office network installations. It connects equipment at patch panels, network switches, and wall jacks where a 7-foot reach is appropriate. The Cat6 rating supports 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications. It is a standard drop-in replacement for any Cat6 patch cord of matching length in structured cabling systems following TIA-568 standards.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for reduced bulk in dense patch environments
• 7-foot length suitable for rack-to-device and panel-to-switch connections
• Black jacket for visual identification and cable management organization
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement patch cord compatible with standard Cat6 RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface equipment meeting TIA-568-C.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install Cat6 patch cords as the final connection segment in a structured cabling system. No tools are required for insertion into RJ45 ports; ensure the locking tab clicks fully into place on both ends. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 standards for patch cord length limits within the overall channel.
