Which 10-speed road drivetrains does the CN-6701 fit?

Shimano's 2x10-speed compatibility chart lists the CN-6701 for Ultegra 6700, 105 5700, and Tiagra 4600 drivetrains with a road double crankset. Road triples use the CN-6600, and Shimano pairs Tiagra 4700 and GRX RX400 with HG-X chains such as the CN-HG95.

How much does the CN-6701 weigh?

Shimano lists an average weight of 267 grams at 114 links.

Does Shimano make a quick-link for the CN-6701?

No. Shimano's spec chart lists QUICK-LINKs for its HG 12-speed, 11-speed, and 8/7/6-speed chains (SM-CN910-12, SM-CN900-11, and SM-UG51), but none for 10-speed chains like the CN-6701.
