Quiktron 570-135-010 Cat5e Patch Cable 10 Ft Black

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-135-010 is a Category 5e (Cat5e) Ethernet patch cable designed for structured wiring applications in commercial and residential settings. This 10-foot cable features a snagless boot that protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector failure from repeated plug-and-unplug cycles. Finished in black, it carries a CM (Communications Multipurpose) cable rating, making it suitable for in-wall and general-purpose horizontal runs. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect workstations, switches, patch panels, and access points.

This patch cable is well suited for voice, data, and basic network infrastructure installations in office environments, server closets, and light commercial spaces. The Cat5e specification supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz, covering the majority of standard LAN deployments. The black jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes where black is designated for a specific network segment or VLAN.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports up to 1 Gbps data transmission at 100 MHz
• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab and reduces connector wear during routing
• CM-rated jacket suitable for in-wall and general horizontal cable runs
• 10-foot length provides flexible reach for patch panel and equipment rack connections
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with Cat5e and Cat6 compatible RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface devices.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians typically handle structured cabling installations of this type. Installations within walls or plenum spaces must comply with local building codes and NEC Article 800 communications wiring requirements. Verify that the CM jacket rating is appropriate for the intended pathway before routing through wall cavities. Power down or disconnect active equipment before replacing patch cables in live rack environments to avoid network disruption.
