Patch Cable Cat6 UTP Secomp S1733, Class E, Yellow, 3 m

Secomp S1733 is a Cat6 UTP patch cable in yellow with a 3 m length, designed to provide Category 6 (Class E) performance for typical office, server room and home network connections. The unshielded twisted pair construction and RJ45 terminations enable structured cabling connections between patch panels, switches, routers and desktop devices while maintaining the signal characteristics required for Gigabit Ethernet and other common network protocols.

Advantages

The Secomp S1733 Cat6 UTP cable offers a standard-compliant transmission medium with controlled pair twist and impedance suitable for Class E installations. Its 3 m length balances flexibility and tidy cable management in rack or desk environments, and the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for network runs. The cable is intended to support Gigabit Ethernet speeds and reduces crosstalk typical of untwisted conductors through the twisted-pair design.

Suitable for

• Connections between patch panels and switches in office or data-centre racks
• Direct connections from desktops or workstations to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers, access points or networked printers within a LAN
• Temporary test and troubleshooting links during network installation or maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (UTP) Cat6 cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required to reduce noise and maintain link quality. It is also not designed for outdoor use, burial, or direct exposure to moisture and harsh weather without additional protective conduits or rated jackets. For data rates or channel specifications beyond Class E performance, higher-category cable (for example Cat6a or Cat7) may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Typical use: Gigabit Ethernet and standard LAN protocols

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the Secomp S1733 patch cable to the network port of your switch, patch panel or router and the other end to the target device such as a workstation, access point or wall socket. Ensure connectors click firmly into place and avoid sharp bends near the plug ends. Route the cable following existing cable management pathways and keep it away from mains power cables to reduce potential interference. For fixed installations, verify link status on network devices and perform basic speed and duplex checks to confirm the connection meets expected performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required cable length and consider longer or shorter alternatives if needed
• Confirm whether UTP is acceptable or if a shielded cable is needed for your environment
• Ensure Cat6 (Class E) performance meets your required bandwidth and future upgrade plans
• Check connector compatibility with your equipment and intended patch panels

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the Secomp S1733 alongside high-voltage power cables, maintain gentle bend radii near terminations, and use proper patch panels or cable ties to prevent strain on connectors. Regularly inspect patch cords for physical damage and replace if the jacket or connectors show wear.
