Advancing the Patch Cord

The weakest link in any channel is the patch cord. This is especially true under the high-frequency operation of Augmented Category 6 systems.

When you build for the long term, you need patch cords as reliable as the cable behind the walls. That is why ADC patch cords are made with stranded conductors for improved mechanical durability of the much handled patch cord. This is no ordinary stranded cord because, in the manufacturing process, ADC uses a machine die to compact individual strands into a form that resembles a solid conductor. You get the best of both worlds—electrical performance of a solid conductor combined with the flexibility and durability of a stranded conductor.

There is a reason we make our own patch cords. No one does it better.

10G patch cords are different; you must use

stranded conductor cords for optimal performance.
