Ortronics RDC61015-08 Cat6a Patch Cord 28AWG 15ft Gray

Product Description

The ORTRONICS RDC61015-08 is a Category 6A patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built with 28 AWG conductors, this 15-foot cord supports high-speed data transmission at the bandwidth and performance levels required by Cat6A standards. The gray jacket provides straightforward color-coded cable management in densely populated patch fields. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that deploy this type of cord in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and horizontal cabling termination points.

This patch cord is suited for connecting network equipment in server rooms, wiring closets, and structured cabling systems where Cat6A performance is specified. The 15-foot length accommodates typical patch panel to switch runs in standard rack environments. The 28 AWG construction keeps the cord flexible and manageable in high-density installations where cable congestion and bend radius are practical concerns.

Key Features

• Cat6A rated for high-speed structured cabling applications
• 28 AWG conductors provide flexibility in dense patch environments
• 15-foot length suits standard rack-to-switch and panel-to-equipment runs
• Gray jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or incremental deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 Cat6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage network technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or administratively disable switch ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live production environments where link disruption is a concern. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable and do not route cords in a way that creates sharp kinks or sustained tension at the plug boot. Maintain consistent color-coding discipline at both the patch panel and switch ends to support accurate documentation and troubleshooting.
