Quiktron 560-120-005 Cat5e Patch Cable 5 Ft No-boot

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-120-005 is a Cat5e patch cable designed for structured network wiring in commercial and residential installations. This 5-foot cable features a no-boot construction, meaning it lacks the protective strain-relief boot found on standard patch cables. Cat5e cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is rated for frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for data networking, VoIP infrastructure, and low-voltage signal runs. The green jacket provides visual identification for organized cable management. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trade professionals who handle this type of cabling.

This patch cable is used to connect network switches, patch panels, routers, access points, and end-user devices in structured cabling environments. The 5-foot length suits short rack-to-rack runs, workstation drops, and equipment closet connections. The no-boot design allows easier routing through tight cable managers and keystoned panels where a boot would increase bend radius or catch on adjacent cables. It is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance work in light commercial and residential network infrastructure.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100 MHz frequency rating
• 5-foot length suits short patch runs between rack equipment and panels
• No-boot construction allows routing through tight cable managers and dense panel fields
• Green jacket color aids cable identification and organized cable management
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, switches, and network equipment using 8P8C connectors in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat5e patch cable work, which may be subject to local codes referencing TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. Do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation, and ensure all connected equipment is powered down or placed in a safe state before reconfiguring active network links.
