Quiktron 560-130-014 Cat5e Patch Cable 14 Inches Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 560-130-014 is a Cat5e patch cable designed for structured wiring and low-voltage data network installations. This 14-inch cable features a red jacket for easy circuit identification and ships without a boot, making it suitable for tight spaces or panel work where a standard molded boot would interfere with routing. Cat5e cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is standard equipment in commercial and residential low-voltage network infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades working with this cable type.

This patch cable is used in network closets, patch panels, server racks, and data distribution points where short jumper runs are required. The red jacket color is commonly used to designate specific circuit types or network segments, aiding in cable management and troubleshooting. The no-boot configuration allows denser port population in tight patch panel environments.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard 100BASE-T applications
• 14-inch length suited for short panel-to-panel or device-to-switch jumper runs
• Red jacket for visual circuit identification and color-coded cable management
• No-boot design allows installation in high-density or restricted-clearance environments
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and other 8P8C-terminated data equipment in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals in accordance with TIA-568 standards. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could degrade cable performance. No special tools are required beyond standard patch cable management practices.
