Quiktron 576-145-035 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 35 Ft

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-145-035 is a Category 6 snagless patch cable finished in purple and rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for in-wall and general horizontal runs. At 35 feet in length, it bridges network equipment, patch panels, and data ports in structured wiring installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during routing and repeated connection cycles, reducing connector failure in high-density patch environments. This cable is suited for Ethernet data runs operating at up to 1 Gbps and is a standard tool-of-the-trade for low-voltage installers and network technicians working in commercial and residential structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is used in horizontal cabling runs, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and workstation drops where a pre-terminated, ready-to-install solution is required. The purple jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes, making it easy to distinguish specific circuits or VLANs at a glance. It is appropriate for office buildouts, AV system backbone connections, and data center patching where a 35-foot run is needed between active equipment and patch panels.

Key Features

• Category 6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 latch during installation and repeated mating cycles
• Purple jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured wiring environments
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal runs per NEC Article 800 guidelines
• Pre-terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for immediate deployment
• 35-foot length accommodates longer horizontal patch runs without extension couplers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ-45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, wall plates, and network interface cards meeting TIA-568 Category 6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals. De-energize or power down active switching equipment before patching into live port arrays where static discharge is a concern. Route cable with appropriate bend radius to maintain Cat6 signal integrity and avoid sharp corners or staple fasteners that compress the jacket. Follow NEC Article 800 requirements for CM-rated cable routing in commercial and residential environments.
