Ortronics RDC61009-05 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG 9ft Green

Product Description

The ORTRONICS RDC61009-05 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) patch cable designed for high-speed structured cabling installations. Built with 28 AWG conductors, this 9-foot cable delivers the bandwidth and performance headroom required for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The slimmer 28 AWG gauge makes it well suited for high-density patch panel environments where airflow and cable management are critical concerns. The green jacket provides quick visual identification in busy wiring closets and server rooms. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades working with this cable in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and backbone structured cabling systems that conform to Cat6A performance standards. It is appropriate for data centers, telecommunications rooms, enterprise office environments, and commercial building network infrastructure. The 9-foot length covers typical patch panel to switch runs and workstation connections in standard rack and wall-mount installations. It ships as a single unit (EA) and is categorized under Cat6/6E patch cable applications.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network installers. Verify that both termination points are Cat6A-rated jacks or ports before connecting to preserve channel performance. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius appropriate for the cable gauge to prevent signal degradation. Follow TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes for proper cable routing and management.
