Quiktron 560-130-010 Cat5e Patch Cable 10 Ft Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-130-010 is a Cat5e patch cable finished in red, measuring 10 feet in length, and supplied without a snag-free boot on the RJ45 connectors. Cat5e cabling supports 100 MHz bandwidth and is suitable for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications. This cable is used to connect network equipment in structured cabling installations, including patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, IT contractors, and electricians working under TIA-568 or related standards. The red jacket color supports color-coded cable management in organized telecom rooms and server closets.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and residential low-voltage network installations where a short, direct connection run is needed. At 10 feet, it works well at the rack level or for connecting nearby workstations to wall jacks. The unbooted connector design fits standard panel cutouts without the added bulk of a strain-relief boot, making it practical in tight patch panel environments where cable density is high.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet at up to 100 MHz bandwidth
• 10-foot length suits rack-to-device and short horizontal runs
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable identification and organization
• No-boot RJ45 connectors reduce bulk in high-density patch panel installations
• Sold as a single cable unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and other 8P8C-terminated Ethernet equipment conforming to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically deploy patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for installation beyond good cable management practices. Avoid sharp bends or kinking that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or in a safe state before performing cable changes in live production environments.
