Patch Cable UTP Cat.5e Secomp S1415, beige, 15 m

Secomp S1415 is a 15 m UTP Cat.5e patch cable in beige, designed for Ethernet and general network connections. The cable provides Cat.5e performance suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in typical home and office environments. It features a flexible outer jacket for straightforward routing and standard RJ45 terminations for use with patch panels, switches and wall outlets.

Advantages

The Secomp S1415 offers reliable copper signal transmission compliant with Cat.5e parameters, providing support for network speeds from 100 Mbps up to 1 Gbps depending on the network equipment. Its 15 m length covers longer runs between racks, workstations and wall ports without intermediate couplers. The flexible outer jacket eases installation in cable trays, under desks and through conduits while the standard RJ45 plugs ensure compatibility with common networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting workstations, desktop PCs and printers to switches or patch panels
• Linking network switches to patch panels in small office or server room setups
• Home network connections between routers, access points and media players
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 15 m straight patch lead is required

When it may not be suitable

This Cat.5e UTP cable is not intended for environments that require shielded cabling or protection against strong electromagnetic interference; in such cases a shielded (STP/FTP) cable is more appropriate. It also does not support the higher bandwidth and future-proofing of Cat.6 or Cat.6A standards where multi-gigabit performance over longer distances is required.

Key specifications

• Cable category: UTP Cat.5e
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Colour: Beige
• Suitable data rates: up to 1000 Mbps (dependent on network equipment and environment)
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath for easier routing

How to use

Insert one RJ45 plug into the network device (switch, router, wall outlet or patch panel) and the other plug into the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place and verify link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm a functional connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, kinks or prolonged compression of the cable and keep it separated from power lines or large electrical equipment to reduce interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and routing path to ensure 15 m is sufficient
• Whether shielded cable is needed in your environment to reduce EMI
• Desired future network speeds — consider Cat.6/Cat.6A for higher bandwidth needs
• Compatibility with existing connectors and outlet colours if aesthetic matching is important

Usage recommendations

For stable performance, test the connection after installation and avoid coiling excess cable tightly; store any surplus in loose loops. When used within rated distances and normal office/home conditions, the Secomp S1415 provides a straightforward and compatible solution for standard Ethernet connections.
