Quiktron 576-140-014 CAT6 Patch Cable 14 Ft Orange

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-140-014 is a 14-foot CAT6 patch cable finished in orange with a snagless boot design and CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating. It is used to connect network equipment in structured wiring installations where a reliable, terminated copper data cable is required. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel environments. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install this cable in commercial and residential data runs where CM-rated jacketing meets NEC requirements for in-wall or open-air horizontal cabling applications.

This cable is suited for horizontal patch runs in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and workstation drops. The orange jacket provides visual identification for network zone separation or circuit labeling conventions. At 14 feet, it bridges mid-length runs between patch panels and switches or between wall ports and end devices without excess slack. Low-voltage installers and network technicians working under NEC Article 800 guidelines will find this cable appropriate for standard structured cabling deployments.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard 10/100 network speeds
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch during cable management and routing
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for communications cable in applicable installations
• Orange jacket enables easy visual circuit identification in patch panels and racks
• 14-foot length suits mid-range horizontal patch runs without excessive cable bulk
• Sold individually — one cable per unit

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians following NEC Article 800 for communications wiring. Verify that the CM jacket rating is appropriate for the intended routing path before installation. Route cables away from high-voltage conductors and secure with appropriate cable management hardware to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. No special tools beyond standard RJ45 patch panel termination equipment are required for connecting this pre-terminated cable.
