I found this info on the Krone web site, the page was titled "Length Matters"
"Patch cords are an integral - and often overlooked - part of your network's cabling. Transmission protocols on today's networks run at specified frequencies. When those frequencies are interrupted or compromised with patch cords of random or unspecified lengths, the disturbance created causes signal loss and corrupted data flow. TrueNet patch cords are designed and manufactured at specified lengths - 4, 7, 10, and 15 feet - to correspond to the critical wavelengths of transmission frequencies. An average of all the key frequencies - 10, 100, Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM 155/622- was used to determine the optimal lengths for data transmission."
