Quiktron 560-100-010 Cat5e Patch Cable 10 Ft Gray

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-100-010 is a Cat5e unshielded twisted pair patch cable in gray, measuring 10 feet in length. It ships without a snag-less boot, making it a straightforward choice for standard network connections in equipment racks, patch panels, and wall-outlet-to-device runs. Cat5e cabling supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps and is rated for 100 MHz bandwidth, meeting the performance requirements of most commercial and residential Ethernet installations. Network technicians and low-voltage installers reach for this cable when a clean, no-frills connection is needed between switches, routers, access points, or structured wiring panels.

This patch cable is suited for both commercial and residential network infrastructure work. Common install scenarios include data closet patch panel terminations, desktop workstation connections, VoIP phone drops, and short equipment-to-equipment runs inside server racks or AV enclosures. The 10-foot length covers typical horizontal device-to-outlet or panel-to-switch distances without excess slack. The absence of a boot keeps the plug profile low and simplifies routing in dense cable environments.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet and 100 MHz bandwidth

• Sold as a single cable unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, wall jacks, and other 8P8C-equipped Ethernet devices following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as these degrade signal performance. Confirm that all connected ports are set to compatible duplex and speed settings before finalizing the connection.
