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

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-100-100 is a CAT5e patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Finished in gray with no boot on the RJ45 connectors, this 100-foot cable is suited for runs between patch panels, switches, routers, and other network equipment. CAT5e cabling supports data transmission up to 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet and reduces crosstalk compared to original CAT5 specification. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, IT contractors, or electricians working within TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

This patch cable is used in network closets, server rooms, and general office or facility data distribution applications. The 100-foot length accommodates longer horizontal runs between wall jacks or equipment rack ports and patch panels. The no-boot design allows for installation in tight spaces or through narrow cable management channels where a standard strain-relief boot may interfere with adjacent ports.

Key Features

• CAT5e rated for Gigabit Ethernet and reduced near-end crosstalk (NEXT) performance
• 100-foot length for extended network runs
• Gray jacket for color-coded cable management and identification
• No-boot RJ45 connectors allow installation in high-density patch panel environments
• Sold individually as a single cable assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation cable for CAT5e-compatible patch panels, switches, routers, and RJ45 wall jacks in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians or IT cabling professionals typically install patch cables in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or that the network port is inactive before seating or removing patch cable connections in sensitive environments. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Route cables through appropriate cable management to prevent physical damage.
