Quiktron 576-115-002 CAT6 Patch Cable 2 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-115-002 is a 2-foot CAT6 ethernet patch cable finished in yellow with a snagless boot design. It carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating, making it suitable for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal runs in commercial and residential structured wiring installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection after termination. This cable is pulled and routed by low-voltage technicians and network installers working on data, VoIP, and building automation infrastructure.

This patch cable is used to connect network switches, patch panels, routers, access points, and end devices in structured cabling systems. The yellow jacket is commonly used as a color-coding convention to identify specific network segments, VLANs, or circuit types on a rack. At 2 feet, it is well suited for short switch-to-panel runs and tight rack environments where cable management is a priority.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at short distances
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch tab from breaking during routing and repeated connect/disconnect cycles
• CM jacket rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cable use
• Yellow jacket supports color-coded cable management practices in structured wiring environments
• 2-foot length suited for short intra-rack and panel-to-switch connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ45 CAT6 patch cable compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and network equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to avoid signal degradation. Do not cinch cable ties tightly around CAT6 patch cables, as deformation of the cable geometry can affect crosstalk performance.
