Ethernet patch cable Secomp S1737 Cat.6 (Class E) UTP, yellow, 7 m

Secomp S1737 is a Category 6 (Class E) UTP Ethernet patch cable in yellow, 7 m long, intended for structured cabling and network interconnections. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair construction and is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet speeds and standard LAN signal transmission between switches, patch panels and end devices. Its 7 m length provides flexibility for office racks, workstations and equipment setups where a mid-range patch length is required.

Advantages

The Secomp S1737 offers Category 6 performance suitable for Class E installations while keeping a simple unshielded design that is easy to handle and terminate. The bright yellow jacket improves cable identification and routing in network closets and patch panels. With a 7 m length, the cable balances reach and manageability for most office and data cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches to patch panels or ports in a structured cabling rack
• Linking workstations, printers or IP devices to wall outlets or switches within an office
• Temporary network setups, testing or lab environments where Cat6 performance is needed

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6 cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference or where shielded cables are required by installation standards. It may also be inappropriate for runs exceeding recommended horizontal or patch distances in a structured cabling design, or for installations that require higher performance classes such as Cat6a for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 / Class E performance
• Type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 7 m
• Color: Yellow
• Intended use: Ethernet patching for LAN and structured cabling
• Supported network: Gigabit Ethernet and lower

How to use

Route the Secomp S1737 cable between the required ports on switches, patch panels or devices ensuring minimal bending at connector ends and avoiding sharp kinks. Plug the RJ45 ends into the appropriate ports until each connector latches. For neat installation, secure excess cable with Velcro ties or cable management panels rather than tight cable ties to preserve the cable geometry. Verify link and network speed indicators on connected equipment to confirm a proper connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6 (Class E) performance meets your network speed and distance requirements
• Assess whether an unshielded cable is suitable for your environment or if shielded cable is required
• Choose an appropriate length and color for identification and cable management needs

Usage recommendations

Use the Secomp S1737 for standard office and data cabinet patching where Cat6 performance is sufficient. Keep cable bends within manufacturer bend-radius guidelines, avoid running alongside large power cables to reduce interference risk, and test each link after installation to ensure expected communication speeds.
