Quiktron 570-100-050 Cat5e Patch Cable 50 Ft Gray

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-100-050 is a 50-foot Category 5e patch cable finished in gray with a snagless boot design and CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating. It is used to establish structured network connections between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices in commercial and residential low-voltage cabling systems. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and termination, reducing connector damage in high-density environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades who handle this cable in finished infrastructure work.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs and equipment connections in data rooms, server closets, and structured wiring enclosures. The CM rating satisfies National Electrical Code requirements for general-purpose communications cable in commercial and residential applications where CMP (plenum) is not required. At 50 feet, it covers longer rack-to-rack or cross-room runs that shorter patch cables cannot reach without a coupler.

Key Features

• 50-foot length handles extended equipment bay and cross-room connections
• Snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during installation and repeated handling
• Category 5e performance supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet network applications
• CM cable rating meets NEC requirements for general-purpose communications wiring
• Gray jacket simplifies color-coded cable management schemes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped switches, patch panels, network interface cards, and other 8P8C-terminated network equipment in CM-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians following NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. Route the cable without sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius, and avoid bundling tightly with power conductors. In plenum or riser-rated spaces, verify that CM-rated cable is code-compliant for the specific pathway before installation.
