Patch Cable UTP Cat.6 (Class E) Secomp S1729, red, 10 m

Secomp S1729 is a red UTP patch cable Category 6 (Class E) with a length of 10 m. It is designed for Ethernet networks and structured cabling, providing unshielded twisted-pair connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet between switches, patch panels, routers and network devices in office, home and small data-closet environments. The cable meets Cat6 performance parameters to support up to 1 Gbps Ethernet links over standard horizontal cabling distances.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable unshielded twisted-pair transmission with Cat6 performance characteristics, enabling stable Gigabit connections in typical network installations. Its 10 m length gives flexibility for linking equipment across racks, desks and wall outlets without the need for intermediate patch panels or extensions. The red jacket provides clear visual identification for cable management, simplifying fault-finding and segmentation of networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or wall outlets within server rooms and wiring closets
• Linking desktop workstations, VoIP phones and routers to network ports
• Temporary or permanent patching in office, home and small business networks
• Color-coded cabling schemes where red indicates a specific VLAN, service or priority line

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6 cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable types would be required to reduce noise and crosstalk. It also does not provide power delivery beyond standard PoE limits; for higher power PoE++ installations verify power and distance limitations separately.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 10 m
• Color: red
• Typical use: Ethernet, Gigabit LAN patching
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends

How to use

Route the patch cable between the two network ports you need to connect, ensuring connectors are fully seated in RJ45 sockets until they click. Avoid sharp bends or tight loops that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or high-voltage power runs. For rack installations, secure the cable with proper cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6 performance meets the requirements for your network speed and distance
• Decide if an unshielded cable is suitable for your installation environment or if a shielded alternative is needed
• Verify 10 m length is appropriate for the planned cable route and equipment placement
• Consider color-coding plan to ensure the red jacket aligns with your cabling scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 UTP patch cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet patching and color-coded cable management; for environments with significant interference or longer permanent links, evaluate shielded cables or higher-category cabling and check PoE power and distance limits before deployment.
