Quiktron 560-100-002 Cat5e Patch Cable 2 Ft Gray

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-100-002 is a Cat5e unshielded twisted-pair patch cable measuring 2 feet in length, finished in gray with no boot on the connectors. Cat5e cabling supports network data transmission up to 1 Gbps and is rated for 100 MHz bandwidth, making it a workhorse in structured cabling installations. This cable ships as a single unit and is used to create short, direct connections between network equipment in panels, racks, and equipment rooms. Network technicians and low-voltage installers reach for this cable when a clean, compact run is needed without the added bulk of a snag-prevention boot.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial network installations where short horizontal runs or equipment-bay connections are required. Typical applications include connecting patch panels to switches, linking switches to wall-plate jacks, or providing a direct device-to-switch drop at a workstation. The 2-foot length keeps cable management tight inside rack enclosures and AV equipment bays. The no-boot connector design allows for easier insertion and removal in high-density panels where space between ports is limited.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports up to 1 Gbps throughput and 100 MHz bandwidth
• 2-foot length ideal for short patch runs inside racks and panels
• No-boot RJ45 connectors allow use in tightly packed port environments
• Gray jacket color supports standard color-coded cable management schemes
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards following TIA/EIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle Cat5e patch cable terminations under TIA/EIA-568 standards. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating the RJ45 connector. No tools are required for installation, but a cable tester should be used after patching to confirm link integrity. Avoid sharp bends or zip-tie overtightening, as either can degrade signal performance on Cat5e cabling.
