Quiktron 570-130-007 Cat5e Patch Cable 7 Ft Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-130-007 is a 7-foot Category 5e (Cat5e) snagless patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) applications. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and routing, reducing connector damage in tight cable runs. This cable carries data signals between network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user equipment. It is sold individually and is a standard item for structured cabling, network closet builds, and device-level patching in both residential and light commercial environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal or equipment-room patching where a 7-foot run length is appropriate. The CM jacket rating makes it acceptable for general indoor use in commercial buildings and residential structured wiring installations. Electricians and low-voltage technicians commonly stock Cat5e patch cables in multiple lengths and colors for organized, color-coded network installations. The red jacket aids visual identification of specific network segments or priority circuits at a glance.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and Ethernet-enabled devices in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians or low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this degrades signal integrity. Power down or log out of managed equipment before disconnecting active patch cables in sensitive network environments. The snagless boot should be seated fully before routing through cable managers or bundles.
