Quiktron 576-130-003 CAT6 Patch Cable 3 Foot Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-130-003 is a 3-foot CAT6 patch cable finished in red with a snagless boot design and CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating. It is used to connect network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, and workstations in structured cabling installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density environments. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network installers are the primary trades working with this cable.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial structured wiring applications where a short, reliable horizontal connection is needed. Typical installations include data closets, server rooms, workstation drops, and AV equipment racks. The red jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes, making it easier to identify specific network segments or priority circuits at a glance.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard 10/100 network applications
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal
• Red jacket supports color-coded cable management and quick visual identification
• CM-rated jacket meets Communications Multipurpose cable requirements for general commercial and residential use
• 3-foot length suited for short patch runs in racks, panels, and desktop applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on routers, switches, patch panels, network interface cards, and other 8P8C-equipped network equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or electricians working under applicable NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. No tools are required for termination as the cable ships with pre-terminated RJ45 connectors on both ends. Route the cable without sharp bends or kinks that could degrade signal performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius recommended for CAT6 cabling during routing through conduit or cable management hardware.
