Quiktron 576-110-020 CAT6 Patch Cable 20 Ft Blue Snagless

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-110-020 is a 20-foot CAT6 snagless patch cable rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for use in structured wiring installations. The cable ships in blue and features a snagless boot design that protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and termination. CAT6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT5e infrastructure. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and electricians working data drops specify this cable for horizontal and equipment-bay runs where a CM-rated jacket meets code requirements.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and residential data installations, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and workstation drops. The 20-foot length covers longer equipment-to-patch-panel spans and cross-connect runs without requiring field termination. CM-rated jackets satisfy NEC Article 800 requirements for general-purpose indoor cabling applications. The snagless boot keeps connectors intact during bundle routing and repeated plug-and-unplug cycles.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• 20-foot length suits longer equipment bay and horizontal patch runs
• Blue jacket color for easy circuit identification and color-coded patch organization
• Snagless molded boot protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and daily use
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for indoor cabling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for CAT6 and CAT5e structured wiring systems using RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle patch cable deployment in accordance with NEC Article 800 and TIA-568 wiring standards. Power down or disconnect active ports before swapping patch cables in live panels to avoid unintended network disruption. Avoid sharp bend radii that can degrade CAT6 performance; maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius during routing. Do not over-cinch cable ties, as excessive compression on CAT6 jackets can degrade signal integrity.
