Quiktron 566-130-014 Cat6 Patch Cable Red 14 Feet

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 566-130-014 is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable in red, measuring 14 feet in length, supplied without a boot on the RJ45 connectors. Cat6 cabling supports network runs requiring higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared to Cat5e, making it the standard choice for structured wiring in commercial and residential low-voltage installations. Sold as a single cable, it is suited for direct runs between network switches, patch panels, routers, and endpoint devices. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install these cables during new construction, tenant buildouts, and equipment rack maintenance.

This patch cable is used in horizontal runs and equipment connections within data rooms, server closets, and commercial office environments. At 14 feet, it fits medium-length drops between wall jacks and workstation equipment or between rack-mounted devices. The no-boot configuration allows use in high-density panels where standard boots may interfere with adjacent port access. Red jacket color supports color-coded cabling schemes used in structured wiring installations.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated construction for structured network cabling applications
• 14-foot length suitable for medium equipment-room and workstation runs
• Red jacket supports color-coded port and circuit identification
• No-boot RJ45 connectors allow use in dense patch panel environments
• Single cable per unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards meeting Cat6 or Cat5e wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians qualified in structured cabling work. Verify patch panel and endpoint ports are free of debris and properly seated before connecting. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as excessive bend radius can degrade signal performance on Cat6 runs. Local structured cabling installations should conform to TIA-568 standards where applicable.
