Quiktron 576-145-025 Cat6 Patch Cable 25 Ft Purple

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-145-025 is a Category 6 (Cat6) patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) in-wall and general-purpose horizontal runs. Finished in purple for easy visual identification, this 25-foot cable features a snagless boot design that protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing the likelihood of clip breakage in dense patch panel environments. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for structured cabling work in commercial and residential data networks. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that specify and deploy this cable.

This patch cable is appropriate for connecting switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user devices in Cat6 horizontal or equipment-room applications. The CM rating makes it acceptable for use inside walls and plenum-adjacent spaces where a communications cable designation is required by code. The purple jacket aids with network documentation and color-coded cable management schemes where different colors denote specific VLANs, ports, or service types.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications at appropriate distances
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during repeated insertions and extractions
• Purple jacket supports color-coded patch panel and port identification
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for in-wall communications cabling
• 25-foot length suitable for equipment room and horizontal patch runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, wall jacks, and other 8P8C-terminated Cat5e and Cat6 network equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Verify that the destination ports and patch panel jacks are rated for Cat6 before deployment to maintain channel performance. Confirm local AHJ and NEC requirements for jacket ratings before routing cable inside wall cavities or above drop ceilings. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat6 cable during routing.
