Quiktron 576-A40-010 Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable 10 Ft

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-A40-010 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) snagless patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) environments, supplied in a 10-foot length with an orange jacket. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable choice for structured network installations where higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk are required. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing cable damage in dense patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in data centers, server closets, and commercial or residential structured wiring applications.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room connections in both commercial and residential network environments. The 10-foot length accommodates typical rack-to-switch and patch-panel-to-equipment runs. The orange jacket color aids in visual cable management and identification within structured cabling systems. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for installations governed by TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Cat6A specification supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal
• Orange jacket for easy visual identification in structured cabling environments
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-building horizontal runs
• 10-foot length for standard rack and patch-panel connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6A patch cable for use with RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment compatible with Category 6A infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically install structured cabling patch cables. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and cable routing. Avoid sharp bends or kinking, which can degrade signal performance in Cat6A installations.
