Quiktron 570-130-100 Cat5e Patch Cable 100ft Red

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-130-100 is a snagless Category 5e patch cable rated for CM (Communications Multipurpose) in-wall and general-purpose horizontal runs. At 100 feet in length, it provides a reliable copper-twisted-pair connection for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during cable routing and repeated insertions, reducing connector failure over time. Red jacket color supports color-coded port identification schemes common in patch panel and data closet installations. This cable is sold as a single unit and is suited for network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and systems integrators.

This patch cable is designed for horizontal and equipment-room runs where CM-rated cabling is required by code. At 100 feet, it covers longer cross-connects between patch panels, switches, and network equipment in mid-size data rooms, server closets, and structured cabling systems. The red jacket is a commonly used color convention for distinguishing VoIP, management, or specific VLAN segments in organized patch fields. Installation professionals working under TIA-568 structured cabling standards will find this length suitable for longer bay-to-bay or panel-to-panel runs.

Key Features

• Category 5e construction supports standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ45 latch clip during installation and repeated handling
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for general-purpose communications cabling
• 100-foot length covers extended runs in patch panel and equipment room environments
• Red jacket supports color-coded cable management and port identification
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or incremental installation needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches or routers equipped with 8P8C ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage contractors and network technicians install this cable in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and NEC Article 800 for CM-rated communications wiring. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation. Power down or place connected equipment in a maintenance state before swapping active patch connections where network disruption is a concern. Do not exceed the 100-meter total channel length limit specified for Cat5e installations.
