Quiktron 576-RD15-007 Cat6 Patch Cable 7 Ft Yellow 28AWG

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-RD15-007 is a Category 6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage data networks. This 7-foot cable features a yellow booted jacket for quick visual identification and strain relief at both RJ45 connectors. Built with 28AWG conductors, it delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance across horizontal and equipment-room runs. Low-voltage network technicians and voice-data-video (VDV) installers use this cable to interconnect switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating makes it suitable for in-wall and general-purpose horizontal routing in commercial and residential environments.

This patch cable fits standard structured cabling deployments where Cat6 performance is required at the equipment connection point. Typical applications include data center patch fields, server room equipment racks, office workstation drops, and AV or security system tie-ins. The yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes common in enterprise and light-commercial installations. The booted connector design helps prevent accidental latch breakage during repeated connection and disconnection cycles at patch panels and switch ports.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth
• 7-foot length for flexible equipment-room and desktop patching
• 28AWG conductors for a slim, flexible cable profile
• Yellow booted jacket for color-coded identification and connector strain relief
• CM-rated jacket suitable for general-purpose and in-wall horizontal runs
• Standard RJ45 connectors compatible with Cat6 keystone jacks and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems using RJ45 interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or VDV technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all patch panel ports and switch interfaces are Cat6 rated before installation to avoid downgrading channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent conductor damage and signal degradation. No power shutdown is required for patch cable replacement, but follow site change-control procedures before disconnecting active network ports.
