Quiktron 566-115-001 Cat6 Patch Cable 1 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 566-115-001 is a Category 6 (Cat6) patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) applications. This 1-foot cable ships in a non-booted configuration, meaning the RJ45 connectors are not protected by a strain-relief boot. Cat6 patch cables carry structured network data signals between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. The CM rating indicates suitability for in-building horizontal runs in commercial and residential environments. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of cable.

This cable is well suited for short patch runs in network closets, server racks, and data centers where space is tight and cable management is critical. The 1-foot length minimizes slack and keeps runs tidy in high-density port environments. The yellow jacket color is commonly used for visual identification in structured cabling systems, aiding in port-to-port tracing and cable management discipline. It is appropriate for use in rack-mount patch panel applications and horizontal distribution frames.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and beyond
• 1-foot length for tight, organized rack and panel patch runs
• Non-booted RJ45 connectors for use in dense port environments
• Yellow jacket for visual port identification and cable tracing
• CM-rated jacket for in-building communications cabling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and other 8P8C-terminated network equipment following TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage data cabling technicians typically install Cat6 patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No tools are required for connecting pre-terminated patch cables to RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends below the Cat6 minimum bend radius, and do not zip-tie bundles so tightly that cable geometry is deformed, as this can degrade signal performance. Installations in plenum spaces require a CMP-rated cable, not a CM-rated cable.
