Quiktron 570-100-001 Cat5e Patch Cable 1 Ft Gray

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-100-001 is a 1-foot Category 5e (Cat5e) snagless patch cable rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for in-wall and general horizontal runs. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch panel environments. Finished in gray for easy visual identification, this cable is suited for structured wiring closets, server rooms, and workstation drops where short jumper runs are required. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install these cables to terminate network runs at patch panels, switches, and wall plates.

This patch cable is used in residential and light commercial data installations where Cat5e performance is sufficient for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet. Typical applications include connecting network switches to patch panels, linking workstation ports to wall jacks, and jumper duties inside telecom closets. The CM rating qualifies it for use inside building walls and ceilings in accordance with NEC Article 800 communications wiring guidelines. The 1-foot length is ideal for high-density patch panel installations where cable slack must be minimized.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e RJ45 patch cable compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 patch panels, network switches, routers, and wall plate jacks using 8P8C (RJ45) ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians install Cat5e patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by NEC Article 800 and TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation.
