Quiktron 576-A10-010 Cat6a Patch Cable 10 Ft Blue

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-A10-010 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Measuring 10 feet in length and finished in blue for easy circuit identification, this CM-rated cable supports high-speed Ethernet runs up to 10 Gbps. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable in data closets, server rooms, and workstation drops.

The 576-A10-010 is suited for horizontal runs and patch panel connections in residential and commercial structured wiring systems. Its CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating makes it appropriate for in-wall and plenum-adjacent installations where local codes permit CM-rated cable. Blue jacket color is commonly used in network infrastructure to designate standard data ports, simplifying troubleshooting and moves-adds-changes work in active environments.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and bandwidth up to 500 MHz
• 10-foot length suits patch panel to switch and wall plate to device connections
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 latch during routing and repeated connection cycles
• Blue jacket aids port identification and color-coded cable management
• CM-rated jacket for use in commercial and residential cabling installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in standard RJ45 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians install Cat6A patch cables per TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as both can degrade signal performance. No special tools are required for patch cable termination since connectors are pre-terminated. Confirm local codes regarding CM versus CMP (plenum) rating requirements before routing cable through air-handling spaces.
