Described herein are quick-connect twisted pair cables, cable systems and methods of installing/connecting them. For example, a quick-connect twisted pair cable may include a plurality of pairs of insulated wires within an outer insulating cover; within the insulating cover each of the plurality of pairs of insulated wires are wrapped around each other within elongate tubular body regions, and unwrapped (e.g., parallel) in flattened regions between the elongate tubular body regions. A quick plug connector may be configured as a standard (e.g., RJ-45) connector type.
