Quiktron 576-S15-003 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 3ft Yellow

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576-S15-003 is a 3-foot Category 6 shielded twisted pair (STP) patch cable with a snagless boot, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel setups. Yellow jacket color supports standard color-coded cable management practices. This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure contractors, and network systems integrators.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs between patch panels and switches, workstation drops, and equipment rack connections. The STP construction provides shielding against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for environments with high electrical noise such as mechanical rooms, industrial spaces, or data centers with dense power cabling. The 3-foot length is a common choice for short rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch connections.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) construction reduces EMI and crosstalk
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 latch during install and removal
• Yellow jacket for color-coded network infrastructure identification
• 3-foot length ideal for short patch panel and switch connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Category 6 compatible patch panels, network switches, and RJ45 wall jacks in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure shielded connectors and patch panels are properly bonded to ground to take full advantage of STP shielding. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain cable performance. De-energize connected equipment before swapping patch cables in live rack environments where practical.
