Patch Cords

CAT6 FTP Patch Cord

Q: Which patch cord categories do you manufacture?

CAT5E, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7 and CAT8 assemblies, in unshielded and shielded constructions, with PVC or LSZH jackets. Each cord is factory terminated and tested before packing.

Q: What lengths are available?

Lengths are made to order. The specification does not fix a length list, so send the lengths you need with the quantity and we quote them together.

Q: Do the cords match the electrical specification of the bulk cable?

The shared specification is 100 ± 15 ohm impedance, maximum conductor resistance of 9.38 ohm per 100 m at 20 °C, insulation resistance of at least 5000 Mohm.km and mutual capacitance of at most 5.6 nF per 100 m, over an operating range of -20 to 75 °C.

Q: Can patch cords be supplied in our colours and with our labels?

Yes. Jacket colour, boot colour and printed labels are part of the OEM options. Send the colour list and label artwork with the enquiry.

Made on our line

NP6F712A015 is assembled in-house rather than bought in finished: the components are matched to the length you order, then every piece is checked before packing. Testing follows UL758, UL1581, UL444, TIA/EIA-568, CSA C22.2, ISO/IEC 11801, YD/T1019-2001; the report is issued per part number, not per family.

One electrical specification covers the patch cord range. Length, AWG and jacket material are set when the order is built: we cut, terminate and test each cord to your length list, so the three are fixed on the order.

The lining, print and label on the reel are yours: we set the line to your part-number format before the run starts. See how production and testing run. The test report for NP6F712A015 is issued from our in-process and final checks — ask and we send it with the quotation.

How a patch cord is made

A patch cord is a short length of the same cable construction as the horizontal run, terminated with plugs at both ends and tested before packing. The plug, the strain relief and the termination quality decide whether the cord meets the channel specification — which is why the electrical limits printed above apply to the finished assembly, not only to the bulk cable.

Colour is a documentation tool as much as a cosmetic choice: it is how a rack records which VLAN, service or customer a link belongs to.

Where patch cords are specified

Patch panels, switches, patch-by-exception racks, server cabinets and desk outlets. The category should match the channel: a CAT6 cord in a CAT6A channel caps the channel, and the resulting test failure is usually blamed on the permanent link rather than on the cord.

What to confirm before ordering

Send the length list, the category per row, the colour scheme and the jacket material required by the room's fire strategy. Boot type, label printing and packaging are OEM options confirmed with the quotation.
