Quiktron 576-RD10-001 Cat6 Patch Cable 1 Foot Blue Booted

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-RD10-001 is a Category 6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Built on 28AWG conductors with a CM-rated jacket, this 1-foot cable is terminated with booted RJ45 connectors in blue for easy circuit identification. The slim 28AWG construction reduces bulk in high-density patch panels and switch ports without sacrificing Cat6 performance. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers reach for short-run patch cables like this when dressing a rack, connecting adjacent switches, or jumpering panels to active equipment.

This cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room runs where a minimal footprint matters. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating meets standard in-wall and above-ceiling installation requirements for commercial spaces. The booted connector protects the locking tab during frequent moves, adds, and changes in dense patch environments. At 1 foot, this cable is a common fit for direct port-to-port connections on patch panels, top-of-rack switches, and media converters.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet at short distances
• 28AWG conductors for slim, flexible routing in dense rack environments
• CM-rated jacket suitable for general commercial building wiring
• Booted RJ45 connectors protect latch tab and reduce accidental disconnects
• Blue jacket color for straightforward circuit identification and organization
• 1-foot length ideal for direct panel-to-panel or port-to-port connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with standard Cat6-compatible RJ45 ports including patch panels, network switches, routers, and wall jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools beyond cable management hardware are required. Verify that both terminating ports are powered down or that the network impact of a brief disconnection is understood before swapping cables in live environments. Route cables to avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius and keep cable runs separated from high-voltage conductors per NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring.
