Quiktron 566-130-025 CAT6 Patch Cable 25 Feet Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 566-130-025 is a CAT6 Ethernet patch cable in red, measuring 25 feet, and supplied without a boot on the connector ends. CAT6 patch cables carry structured network data at up to 250 MHz and are rated for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over short runs. This cable is used to connect network equipment at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data/communications installers are the primary trades that stock and route these cables in both commercial and residential structured wiring systems.

The 566-130-025 is suited for data closets, server rooms, office buildouts, and residential structured wiring installations where a 25-foot run in red is needed for cable identification or color-coding schemes. The no-boot design allows the connector to seat and release cleanly in high-density patch panel environments where adjacent ports restrict access to standard booted connectors. Red jacket color is commonly used in network infrastructure to designate a specific VLAN, port role, or zone.

Key Features

• CAT6 rated for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 25-foot length suits intermediate equipment-to-panel and device-to-switch runs
• Red jacket supports color-coded cable management schemes
• No-boot connector ends ease insertion and removal in dense patch panel fields
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped network switches, patch panels, routers, and wall jacks in residential and commercial structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage and data communications technicians install CAT6 patch cables as part of structured wiring systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required beyond a clean termination point at each end. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, as kinking degrades signal performance. Verify that the patch panel and switch ports are also rated for CAT6 before installing.
