Quiktron 576-A25-008 Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable 8ft

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-A25-008 is an 8-foot Cat6A snagless patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) applications. It is designed for structured cabling installations where high-speed Ethernet connectivity is required at the horizontal or equipment level. The white jacket finish aids in cable identification in dense patch panel environments. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission at up to 500 MHz, making this cable appropriate for demanding network infrastructure in both commercial and light industrial settings. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trade professionals who handle this type of cable during rack builds, server room installations, and workstation drops.

This patch cable is suited for use in network closets, data centers, server rooms, and office cabling installations. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch during routing and routing through cable managers, patch panels, and switch ports. CM-rated jacketing meets NEC requirements for general-purpose horizontal runs where CMP or CMR ratings are not required. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for any application that calls for a Cat6A-compliant patch cable in an 8-foot length.

Key Features

• Cat6A specification supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch during installation and daily use
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC general-purpose cabling requirements
• 8-foot length suitable for equipment-to-patch-panel and switch-to-device runs
• White jacket color simplifies cable identification in multi-cable environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6A patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on Cat6A-rated patch panels, network switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No power shutdown is required, but network ports should be noted as active before disconnecting live connections in production environments. Route cables through proper cable managers to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling layout and NEC Article 800 for CM-rated cable placement.
