Quiktron 576A-RD10-015 Cat6a Snagless Utp Patch Cable 15ft

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 576A-RD10-015 is a 15-foot Cat6a snagless UTP (unshielded twisted pair) patch cable finished in red. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and backward-compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, this cable delivers reliable high-speed network connectivity in structured cabling environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in dense patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for horizontal runs, patch panel terminations, server rack connections, and equipment-to-switch links.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential structured cabling installations where Cat6a performance is required. Typical applications include data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office network buildouts. The red jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes, making it easier to visually distinguish circuit types or network segments at the patch panel. It ships as a single cable unit and is ready to install out of the package without additional termination.

Key Features

• Cat6a rated construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during routing and repeated connection cycles
• UTP design requires no shielded termination hardware or grounding at the patch panel
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable management in multi-circuit installations
• 15-foot length suits rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch runs in standard equipment bays
• Pre-terminated and tested — no field crimping required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches using 8P8C connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Verify that patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or set to an inactive state before connecting or disconnecting cables in live racks to avoid unintended network disruption. Route cables through cable managers and avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling layout and labeling in commercial installations.
