Patch Cable UTP Cat6 (Class E) Secomp S1721, red, 1 m

Secomp S1721 is a standard UTP Cat6 (Class E) patch cable in red, with a 1 m length. Designed for structured cabling and device interconnection, this patch cable provides twisted‑pair connectivity for Ethernet networks and supports Cat6 performance characteristics suitable for typical home and office LAN environments. The cable terminates in standard RJ45 plugs and is intended for short interconnect runs between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations.

Advantages

The red color makes the cable easy to identify in patch bays and cable bundles, reducing time spent tracing connections. As a Cat6 (Class E) UTP cable, it meets the electrical and transmission parameters expected for Category 6, delivering reliable performance for gigabit Ethernet and typical LAN traffic. The 1 m length limits slack in rack or desk environments, helping maintain tidy installations and minimizing signal degradation from excessive length.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and home networks
• Linking workstations or servers to network ports
• Short patch runs in structured cabling and network racks
• Color-coded cable management and identification in patch bays

When it may not be suitable

The Secomp S1721 is a short, unshielded UTP patch cable and is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be recommended. It is also not suitable when a different performance class (for example Cat6a or Cat7) or a longer length is required for your specific installation.

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Color: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the device or patch panel port and the other connector into the corresponding switch, router or network socket. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing or tight bundling that might impair performance; keep runs within recommended lengths and separate unshielded data cables from strong electrical sources to reduce interference risks.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation — this product is 1 m long
• Category and performance — Cat6 (Class E) suited for gigabit LANs but not for higher-rated classes
• Environment — UTP is not shielded; consider shielded cable in high-EMI locations
• Color coding needs — red is useful for visible identification in patching scenarios

Usage recommendations

Use this Secomp Cat6 patch cable for short interconnects where clear visual identification and tidy cable runs are priorities. Inspect connectors for secure seating and avoid excessive tension or bending to maintain consistent network performance.
