Why Patch cable “Patch cord” is always short?

Why Patch cable “Patch cord” is always short?

1- Horizontal cables made of “Solid conductor” and Patch cord made of “Stranded conductor”

2- Stranded conductor “small bundle conductors” presenting attenuation so higher losses per meter than horizontal cables

3- Patch cord commonly used to link two patch panels, switch ports, or to connect the work area outlet

4- Patch cord will be constantly plugged or bent, key difference between stranded and solid conductor is “flexibility, So stranded can’t be damaged easily

Example: 24 AWG Patch cord maximum length of 5m

26 AWG Patch cord maximum length of 3.9m
