Product Features
Technical Overview
This Quiktron patch cord meets Category 6 performance standards, ensuring compatibility with 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent signal integrity and flexibility, while the CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces where low smoke and flame spread ratings are required. The cable features minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) to reduce interference and maintain data transmission quality.
Both ends terminate with standard RJ-45 male connectors that snap securely into network ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices. The snagless boot design prevents the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal, extending the cable's service life. This patch cord is designed for indoor use and supports network devices across commercial, educational, and enterprise environments.
Key Product Advantages
The Quiktron VALUE Series patch cord combines essential performance features with practical design elements that enhance network reliability and installation efficiency. Its Category 6 rating ensures backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 networks while providing headroom for future network upgrades. The snagless boot design is particularly valuable in dense patch panel environments where accidental disconnections can cause network downtime.
Enhanced Durability
The stranded copper construction offers superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, making this patch cord ideal for frequently moved connections between workstations and network equipment. The CM-rated jacket provides additional protection against physical damage and environmental factors in commercial installations.
- Stranded conductors resist breakage from repeated bending
- CM jacket meets plenum space requirements
- Snagless boot protects connector latch mechanism
Optimized Performance
With Category 6 specifications and minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), this cable maintains signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The 24 AWG conductors provide optimal balance between current carrying capacity and flexibility for patch cord applications.
- Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds
- Reduces crosstalk interference
- Maintains consistent performance over 7-foot length
Deployment / Use Cases
This Quiktron CAT6 patch cord is designed for connecting network devices within rack cabinets, server rooms, office workstations, and telecommunications closets. Its 7-foot length makes it ideal for short-run connections between adjacent equipment in standard 19-inch racks or between wall outlets and desktop computers. The blue color allows for easy visual identification when implementing color-coded cable management systems.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting switches to patch panels in network racks, linking routers to modems in small office setups, and providing connectivity between computers and wall network ports in office environments. The cable's CM-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces above drop ceilings or below raised floors where building codes require specific fire safety ratings. This patch cord supports both data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications for devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
Data Center Applications
In server rooms and data centers, this patch cord provides reliable connections between switches, servers, and storage devices. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections when working in densely packed rack environments.
Office Network Infrastructure
For office deployments, the cable connects workstations to network switches or wall outlets, supporting daily business operations with stable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The blue color helps distinguish data cables from power or other types of cabling.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6 patch cord?
This Quiktron CAT6 patch cord supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) for 1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. It is backward compatible with 10/100BASE-T networks and provides bandwidth up to 250 MHz, which exceeds the minimum requirements for standard Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable's construction with minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) helps maintain signal integrity at these speeds over its 7-foot length.
Can this patch cord be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT6 patch cord is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors can carry both data and power to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled equipment. The cable meets the electrical requirements for standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af), PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), and can support the higher power levels of upcoming PoE standards for network-powered devices.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces. CM-rated cables produce limited smoke and have reduced flame spread characteristics compared to standard PVC jackets, making them suitable for installation in air handling spaces like above drop ceilings or below raised floors. This rating is often required by building codes for commercial installations where cables run through environmental air spaces.
How does the snagless boot design benefit network installations?
The snagless boot design features a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, equipment, or rack components during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, broken latches, and network downtime. The design is particularly valuable in dense patch panel environments where multiple cables are routed closely together, as it allows for easier insertion and removal without tools while protecting the connector mechanism.
