Quiktron 576-115-6IN CAT6 Patch Cable 6 Inches Yellow

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-115-6IN is a CAT6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential settings. This 6-inch cable features a snagless boot that protects the RJ45 latch during routing and termination work, reducing connector damage in high-density patch panel environments. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in busy telecom rooms and data closets. Rated CM (Communications Multipurpose), it meets NEC requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal runs at the patch level. Network technicians and low-voltage installers reach for short patch cables like this one when dressing out patch panels or connecting switches in tight rack spaces.

This cable is suited for short-distance connections in structured wiring closets, server rooms, and AV equipment racks. The 6-inch length is ideal for direct switch-to-patch-panel connections where cable management is tight and excess slack is not acceptable. CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications. Low-voltage contractors and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard 568 structured cabling applications
• Snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and repeated moves
• Yellow jacket for quick visual identification in multi-cable environments
• CM rating meets NEC communications cable requirements
• 6-inch length designed for dense patch panel and switch port connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for CAT6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in residential and commercial low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network contractors. Power down or administratively disable switch ports before hot-patching in sensitive network environments to avoid unintended traffic. Route cables through cable management rings or brush panels before seating RJ45 connectors to prevent stress on the boot. Follow TIA-568 and applicable NEC communications wiring guidelines for structured cabling installations.
