Quiktron 576-RD25-001 Cat6 Patch Cable White Booted 28 Awg

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-RD25-001 is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. Built to CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating standards, this cable runs at 28 AWG and features a booted RJ45 connector with a white jacket for easy identification and routing. The snag-resistant boot protects the locking tab during installation and repeated moves, adds, and changes. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT contractors use this cable to terminate horizontal runs, patch panels, and network switches in data rooms, telecom closets, and office environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room applications where a CM-rated cable meets the minimum requirements. The white jacket color aids in color-coded patch management schemes. The 28 AWG construction keeps the cable flexible for tight cabinet routing and dense patch panel environments. It is sold individually as a single unit, making it easy to stock at the quantity needed for a specific job.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard structured cabling applications
• CM-rated jacket meets code requirements for general commercial and residential cabling runs
• 28 AWG conductor gauge provides flexibility for dense patch panel and cabinet installations
• Booted RJ45 connector protects the latch tab and reduces accidental disconnects
• White jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices
• Sold as a single unit for precise inventory and job-specific purchasing

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians should de-energize or power down connected equipment before swapping patch cables in live environments where static discharge or accidental short circuits are a concern. Follow TIA-568 standard bend radius guidelines to avoid degrading cable performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms. CM-rated cables are suitable for general building cabling but are not rated for plenum or riser spaces where CMP or CMR ratings are required by code.
