Quiktron 576-RD10-007 CAT6 Patch Cable 7 Ft Blue 28AWG

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-RD10-007 is a Category 6 (CAT6) patch cable designed for structured network wiring in commercial and residential low-voltage installations. Measuring 7 feet in length, this cable features a blue booted design with 28 AWG conductors and a CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating, making it suitable for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal runs where CM-rated cable is code-compliant. The molded boot protects the RJ45 connector latch from snag damage during installation and routine cable management. Low-voltage network technicians and electricians use this cable to terminate structured cabling systems, patch panels, and network equipment.

This patch cable is intended for use in data networking environments including office buildouts, server room patching, and residential network closets. The 28 AWG conductor gauge keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in tight spaces behind equipment racks and patch panels. Its CAT6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT5e infrastructure. The CM jacket rating meets general-purpose in-building cabling requirements under NEC Article 800.

Key Features

• CAT6-rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 7-foot length suits standard rack-to-switch or patch panel-to-switch runs
• 28 AWG conductors provide flexibility for tight routing and cable management
• Molded blue snagless boot protects RJ45 latch during installation and moves
• CM jacket rating compliant with NEC Article 800 for general in-building use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for CAT6 and CAT5e structured cabling installations using standard RJ45-terminated equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage network technician or licensed electrician. No tools are required for standard patch cable termination — simply seat the RJ45 connector fully into the port until the latch clicks. Verify that the CM jacket rating is appropriate for the installation environment before routing; plenum spaces require a CMP-rated cable per NEC Article 800. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid degrading signal performance.
