Quiktron 576-140-007 CAT6 Patch Cable 7 Foot Orange

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-140-007 is a 7-foot CAT6 patch cable finished in orange with a snagless boot design. It provides structured wiring connections between network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. CAT6-rated construction supports high-speed data transmission for commercial and residential network installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This patch cable is suited for use in low-voltage structured cabling environments including commercial offices, server rooms, data closets, and residential network installations. The orange jacket aids in color-coded cable organization, making it easier to trace and manage runs within patch panels and equipment racks. The CM rating indicates the cable is listed for in-building, general-purpose horizontal and patch runs where a plenum rating is not required.

Key Features

• CAT6-rated for high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during routing and management
• Orange jacket supports color-coded cable identification
• CM-rated jacket for in-building general-purpose use
• 7-foot length suits short equipment-to-patch-panel or device-to-wall-jack runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on Ethernet switches, routers, patch panels, network interface cards, and wall jacks in CAT6 or CAT5e structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install structured cabling patch cables following ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for plugging in a factory-terminated patch cable. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable beyond the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure all connected equipment is properly grounded per NEC low-voltage installation guidelines before servicing active network gear.
