Quiktron 570-120-003 Cat5e Patch Cable 3 Ft Green

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-120-003 is a 3-foot Cat5e patch cable finished in green with a snagless boot design and CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating. It is used to connect network devices at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks in structured cabling installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in dense cable environments. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network installers are the primary trades working with this cable.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs and equipment connections in residential and light commercial data networks. The CM rating qualifies it for in-building use in communications raceways and cable bundles where a general-purpose communications cable rating is required. At 3 feet, it is a standard length for rack-mounted equipment patching, desktop connections, and short device-to-device links in server closets or home network setups.

Key Features

• Cat5e performance supporting standard Ethernet network installations
• Snagless boot protects RJ-45 tab during installation and removal in tight spaces
• Green jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes
• CM-rated jacket for in-building communications cabling applications
• 3-foot length suited for rack patching and short equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks in typical structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or electricians holding the appropriate communications cabling credentials. Route cables away from high-voltage conductors and EMI sources per NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid cinching cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms. Verify the correct port and color-code scheme before seating connectors to avoid re-work in dense patch fields.
