Quiktron 576-140-6IN CAT6 Patch Cable 6 Inches Orange

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-140-6IN is a snagless CAT6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. At 6 inches in length, this short-run cable is suited for high-density patch panel applications where minimal slack and clean cable management are priorities. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in tight spaces. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to terminate equipment in server rooms, telecom closets, and AV racks.

This cable fits applications where a very short, organized connection is needed between adjacent patch panels, switches, or network equipment ports. The orange jacket provides color-coded identification, which is useful in multi-circuit environments where visual lane management is standard practice. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for Cat6 network infrastructure installations requiring CM-rated cabling.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and standard network data applications
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal in dense environments
• 6-inch length ideal for short-run connections in patch panels and high-density rack installations
• Orange jacket enables color-coded cable identification and circuit organization
• CM-rated jacket meets commercial building cabling requirements

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers typically handle CAT6 patch cable termination and rack dressing. Installations should follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling and applicable local codes. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not bundle cables tightly with cable ties, as this can degrade signal performance in high-density runs.
