Quiktron 576-145-001 Cat6 Patch Cable 1 Ft Purple

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-145-001 is a 1-foot Category 6 patch cable designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential environments. Built to CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating, this snagless patch cable features a molded boot that protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density patch environments. The purple jacket provides easy visual identification for port management and cable organization in network closets, server rooms, and telecom rooms. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for switch-to-patch-panel connections and equipment jumpers.

This Cat6 patch cable suits short-run applications where space is limited and cable management is a priority. The 1-foot length is standard for patch panel face-to-face connections and rack-mounted switch ports. The CM jacket rating makes it suitable for in-building horizontal runs and general wiring applications in accordance with NEC Article 800 guidelines. The purple color is commonly used in structured cabling conventions to designate specific traffic types or network segments, making port identification faster during maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating the connector. Route cables through cable managers to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Follow local codes and TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installations.
