Quiktron 576-A30-003 Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable Red 3 Ft

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-A30-003 is a Category 6A snagless patch cable finished in red, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage network environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel environments. At 3 feet in length, this cable suits short runs between patch panels and switches or between wall jacks and nearby equipment. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating makes it suitable for in-building horizontal runs in standard commercial spaces. Low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trade professionals who specify and terminate this type of cable.

This patch cable is suited for 10GbE network segments, structured cabling closets, data centers, and general IT infrastructure environments where Cat6A performance is required. The 3-foot length is commonly used for top-of-rack switch connections, patch panel dress, and equipment room cross-connects. Red jacket color supports color-coded cabling schemes for network segmentation or zone identification per site cabling standards.

Key Features

• Category 6A construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 latch during routing and cable management
• Red jacket enables color-coded network segmentation
• CM-rated jacket for standard in-building communications wiring
• 3-foot length suited for short patch panel and equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6A patch cable for use with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches requiring Category 6A or backward-compatible Category 6 and Category 5e port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling contractors. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management equipment. Cables should be routed without sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 standards for patch cord length limits and overall channel length when planning runs.
