Quiktron 576-145-100 CAT6 Snagless Patch Cable 100 Ft Purple

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-145-100 is a 100-foot Category 6 snagless patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) indoor use. It is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel situations. The purple jacket provides easy visual identification in high-density wiring closets and server rooms. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors use this cable to connect switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user equipment at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal or equipment-room runs where a pre-made, tested CAT6 assembly is preferred over field-terminated solutions. The CM rating qualifies it for use inside buildings in non-plenum spaces. It is commonly used in telecom rooms, data centers, and office network buildouts where color-coded cable management is part of the installation standard. The 100-foot length covers longer rack-to-rack or patch-panel-to-switch runs without splicing.

Key Features

• 100-foot length suits longer equipment-room and inter-rack runs
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch during pull-through and bundling
• Purple jacket enables color-coded cable identification in multi-circuit installations
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for general-purpose indoor cabling
• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T at shorter distances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 RJ45 patch cable compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e patch panels, keystone jacks, switches, routers, and network interface cards using 8P8C connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians working under applicable NEC Article 800 communications wiring guidelines. No tools are required for connecting the cable; verify that both RJ45 connectors are fully seated and latched before securing. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as both can degrade CAT6 signal performance. This cable is rated for indoor non-plenum spaces only — do not install in air-handling plenums without a CMP-rated substitute.
