Quiktron 576-120-6IN CAT6 Patch Cable 6 in Green Snagless

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-120-6IN is a CAT6 patch cable in green with a snagless boot design and CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating. At 6 inches in length, this short-run cable is built for tight rack and panel installations where cable management and port density matter. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in high-cycle environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage data technicians use cables of this type for patch panel terminations, switch connections, and structured cabling systems.

This cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room runs in commercial and residential structured cabling installations. The CM jacket rating meets the National Electrical Code requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent installations in non-plenum spaces. At 6 inches, it is commonly used for back-of-rack patch panel to switch connections, keeping cable runs clean and minimizing slack. Its green jacket color supports industry-standard color-coding schemes for network segment identification.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supporting data transmission at standard CAT6 specifications
• 6-inch cable length designed for short-run rack and patch panel applications
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch tab from damage during installation and removal
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for in-wall use in non-plenum spaces
• Green jacket color supports color-coded network infrastructure organization

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped patch panels, network switches, and CAT6-rated structured cabling systems in commercial and residential installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians install CAT6 patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards and NEC Article 800. Verify that the jacket rating matches the installation environment before routing. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, and avoid sharp edges or tie wraps cinched too tightly, as both can degrade signal performance. No power shutdown is required for patch cable replacement, but confirm port activity before disconnecting active links.
