Quiktron 576-RD00-007 CAT6 Patch Cable 7 Ft Gray 28AWG

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-RD00-007 is a 7-foot CAT6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Terminated with booted RJ45 connectors, the boot protects the latch tab during installation and helps prevent accidental disconnection in dense patch panel environments. Built on 28AWG conductors with a CM-rated jacket, this cable meets the requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal runs where a flexible, slim patch cord is appropriate. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for switch-to-panel and device-to-wall-plate connections.

This patch cable is suited for data closets, server rooms, and structured wiring panels in light commercial and residential builds. The gray jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments. The CAT6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT5e infrastructure. It is sold as a single cable per unit and is a direct plug-in replacement in any standard CAT6 patch field.

Key Features

• 7-foot length provides reach for typical rack-to-device and panel-to-switch connections
• Booted RJ45 connectors protect the latch and reduce cable snag during removal
• 28AWG conductors keep the cable flexible and manageable in tight spaces
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for commercial and residential horizontal cable runs
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Gray jacket aids cable identification in high-density installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cable for use with any RJ45-equipped switch, router, patch panel, or network interface device in a CAT6 or CAT5e structured cabling system.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle this cable type under NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring. No special tools are required beyond standard patch cable management practices. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable. Do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without appropriate separation or shielding.
