Quiktron 570-135-050 Cat5e Patch Cable 50 Ft Black

Product Description

The QUIKTRON 570-135-050 is a 50-foot Category 5e patch cable rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for use in structured cabling installations. The black PVC jacket carries a snagless boot design that protects the RJ45 locking tab during cable routing and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density patch panels and switch ports. This cable is suited for horizontal runs, equipment connections, and patch panel terminations in commercial and residential network environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices on Cat5e infrastructure.

This cable is appropriate for standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 wiring standards. The 50-foot length makes it practical for longer rack-to-rack runs, data closet cross-connects, and equipment room tie cables where shorter patch cords fall short. The CM jacket rating qualifies it for in-wall and plenum-adjacent horizontal use in commercial installations where local codes permit CM-rated cable.

Key Features

• Snagless boot protects RJ45 locking tab during insertion and extraction in dense patch environments
• CM-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cable in commercial and residential spaces
• Category 5e performance supports 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet signaling
• 50-foot length suits longer equipment room and data closet runs
• Black jacket allows color-coded cable management in multi-circuit installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface devices built to TIA-568-C.2 Category 5e specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers should route this cable away from high-voltage conduit runs to minimize EMI interference per NEC guidelines. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius to maintain cable performance. Do not staple or crush the jacket during securing, as deformation can degrade signal transmission. Verify that both endpoints are terminated to the same wiring standard, T568A or T568B, before testing the link.
