Quiktron 570-130-002 Cat5e Patch Cable Snagless Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-130-002 is a Category 5e (Cat5e) snagless patch cable finished in red. It provides a standard Ethernet connection between network devices and structured cabling systems. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch from breakage during routing and removal, extending the service life of the connector. This cable is sold as a single unit and is used by low-voltage technicians, network installers, and facilities electricians in both commercial and residential structured wiring applications.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs between wall jacks and workstation equipment, patch panel to switch connections, and equipment rack wiring. The red jacket provides a visual identification method commonly used in color-coded network installations to designate specific VLANs, circuits, or device categories. It is appropriate for use in standard indoor, CM-rated environments.

Key Features

• Cat5e performance supporting up to 100 MHz bandwidth for standard Ethernet applications
• Snagless boot design protects RJ45 latch during installation and removal
• Red jacket allows color-coded cable management in structured wiring environments
• CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating for standard indoor use
• Single unit packaging for individual replacement or small-quantity installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45-equipped switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Verify that both termination points are Cat5e or better rated before installation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that they deform the cable jacket. Reference TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installation practices in commercial environments.
