Quiktron 570-115-007 Cat5e Patch Cable 7 Ft Yellow

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-115-007 is a 7-foot Category 5e (Cat5e) snagless patch cable rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for use in structured cabling installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during routing and repeated connections, reducing connector damage in high-cycle environments. Yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable management in network closets, data centers, and equipment rooms. This cable is installed by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network cabling contractors working on horizontal or patch panel runs.

This patch cable is suited for residential and light commercial network installations where Cat5e performance is required. Typical applications include connecting switches to patch panels, workstations to wall jacks, and network equipment to routers or access points. The CM rating makes it appropriate for in-building horizontal runs within the same floor, in compliance with general NEC low-voltage cabling requirements. The yellow jacket aids quick visual identification in dense cable environments.

Key Features

• 7-foot length for flexible equipment-room and desktop patching
• Cat5e performance supporting standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet applications
• Snagless boot design protects RJ-45 latch tab during installation and daily use
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-building horizontal cable runs
• Yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface equipment in residential and commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or electricians familiar with NEC Article 800 communications wiring requirements. Ensure both termination points are fully seated and the RJ-45 latch is engaged before securing the cable route. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat5e cable, as these degrade signal performance. De-energize connected equipment before inserting or removing patch cables in sensitive network environments.
