Quiktron 570-130-010 Cat5e Patch Cable 10 Ft Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-130-010 is a Category 5e (Cat5e) patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) applications. It measures 10 feet in length and features a red jacket with a snagless boot design that protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal. Cat5e patch cables carry structured network data between switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. This cable is a standard component in low-voltage network infrastructure work performed by network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and IT trades in both commercial and residential environments.

The 570-130-010 is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching in structured cabling systems. The CM rating qualifies it for use in commercial and residential spaces where cables are run through general-purpose areas. The red jacket color is commonly used for network segmentation, VLAN identification, or zone labeling in patch panel environments. The snagless boot keeps the cable organized and reduces connector damage in high-density patch environments.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports data rates standard to 100BASE-TX and Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for general-purpose communications cabling installations
• Snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during insertion and extraction in dense patch panels
• Red jacket color supports color-coded network documentation and zone identification
• 10-foot length suits typical equipment-room and desktop patching runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network cabling is typically installed by licensed low-voltage contractors or qualified IT infrastructure technicians. CM-rated cables must be installed in accordance with NEC Article 800 governing communications circuits. Do not route CM-rated cables through air-handling spaces or plenum areas where a CMP-rated cable is required. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are fully seated and the RJ45 latch is engaged before securing cable management.
