Patch cable UTP Category 6 (Class E) Secomp, red, 1 m

Secomp UTP Category 6 patch cable, 1 m in red, is a flexible network lead designed to support Ethernet connections at Cat6 (Class E) performance levels. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with stranded conductors, making it suitable for short runs between network equipment where flexibility is required. It is intended for horizontal patching and interconnects such as switch-to-patch-panel, patch-panel-to-device, or switch-to-device links in environments like offices, data closets and residential networks.

Advantages

This Secomp Category 6 patch cable provides Cat6 performance with flexible stranded conductors and a compact 1 m length for neat installations and short patching runs. The red jacket improves port identification and cable management. Unshielded construction reduces cost and weight while remaining suitable where electromagnetic interference is limited or managed. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network devices and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in wiring closets
• Short link between network devices such as PCs, routers and IP phones
• Patch cabling in office racks and data cabinets
• Residential LAN connections and home office setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Class E) — performance for Gigabit Ethernet
• Conductor type: Stranded copper for flexibility
• Pair construction: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends
• Colour: Red jacket for easy identification

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect, ensuring a firm click to confirm proper seating. Use the 1 m length for short patching runs inside racks, between a switch and patch panel, or to connect a device to a nearby wall outlet. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; leave a small service loop to reduce strain on terminations. For installations where EMI may be present, consider appropriate cable routing or using shielded alternatives where required.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the UTP cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment. Use labeled cable management and colored patch cords, like this red Secomp cable, to simplify identification of network segments and reduce troubleshooting time.
