Quiktron 576-A25-012 Cat6a Patch Cable 12ft White

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-A25-012 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) snagless patch cable finished in white and rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) in-wall and horizontal cable runs. Measuring 12 feet in length, this patch cable is built to support high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over structured cabling installations. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and panel termination, reducing connector damage on busy patch fields. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers typically deploy this cable in commercial and residential data cabling projects.

This patch cable is suited for structured wiring environments where Cat6A performance is required at the horizontal distribution or equipment connection point. Typical applications include connecting network switches to patch panels, linking end devices to wall jacks, or completing short runs between active equipment in an IDF or MDF rack. The 12-foot length provides flexibility for mid-depth rack installations and structured cabling closets where cable management spacing varies.

Key Features

• Cat6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in structured cabling systems
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and daily handling
• CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating for in-building horizontal runs
• 12-foot length suits rack-to-panel and device-to-jack connections
• White jacket finish supports color-coded cable management schemes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6A patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling professional. Verify that the connected patch panel and switch ports are Cat6A rated to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as both can degrade signal integrity. CM-rated cable is approved for in-building horizontal runs but must not be used in plenum air-handling spaces without substituting a CMP-rated cable per NEC Article 800.
