Quiktron 576-100-014 CAT6 Patch Cable 14in Gray Snagless

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-100-014 is a Category 6 (CAT6) snagless patch cable designed for structured network wiring applications. The cable ships in gray and features a CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating, making it suitable for in-wall and general-purpose horizontal runs. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel environments. At 14 inches in length, this cable is sized for short patch runs in server racks, wall plates, and network enclosures. Licensed network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure professionals are the primary end users.

This patch cable is intended for use in commercial and residential structured cabling installations where CAT6 performance is required. The 14-inch length suits tight rack-to-switch connections, back-of-panel terminations, and equipment bay crossovers where longer cables create unnecessary slack. The CM jacket rating aligns with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cables run inside buildings.

Key Features

• CAT6 rated for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 locking tab during repeated insertions
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for in-building communications wiring
• 14-inch length optimized for short rack and patch panel runs
• Gray jacket color for easy cable identification and color-coded organization

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches supporting CAT6 or CAT5e infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or qualified network installers. Verify that the destination patch panel and switch ports are RJ45 CAT6 compatible before terminating. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius, as kinking degrades signal integrity. Follow NEC Article 800 guidelines when routing CM-rated cable inside walls or above ceilings.
