Quiktron 576-110-014 Cat6 Patch Cable 14 Ft Blue

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-110-014 is a Category 6 (Cat6) patch cable designed for structured network wiring installations. Measuring 14 feet in length, this cable ships in a blue, snagless boot configuration and carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating, making it suitable for in-wall and general-purpose horizontal runs in commercial and residential environments. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians use Cat6 patch cables to terminate network drops at patch panels, switches, and wall jacks where reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance is required.

This cable is a standard fit for data closets, server rooms, and workstation drops in light commercial and residential installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and repeated connection cycles, reducing nuisance failures at patch panels and switch ports. The blue jacket color supports common color-coded cable management practices used in structured cabling work.

Key Features

• 14-foot length provides reach for mid-distance patch panel and equipment connections
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab from damage during installation and daily use
• CM-rated jacket meets National Electrical Code requirements for in-building communications cable installations
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling environments
• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard PoE applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 CM-rated patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and wall jacks meeting TIA-568 Category 6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians typically install Cat6 patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by NEC Article 800. Verify that the CM jacket rating is appropriate for the installation location before routing; plenum-rated (CMP) cable is required in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as both conditions degrade cable performance.
