Patch Cable Secomp Cat.6 (Class E) UTP, green, 1 m S1741

Secomp Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) UTP in green, 1 m (model S1741) is an unshielded twisted pair patch cable designed for Ethernet connections up to Category 6/Class E performance. It is intended for short interconnects such as linking switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets in home, office and network cabinet environments. The cable offers standard Cat.6 electrical characteristics in a compact 1 metre length and a green jacket for easy visual identification.

Advantages

The Secomp Cat.6 UTP patch cable provides consistent signal transmission for Gigabit Ethernet and other common network protocols that operate within Cat.6/Class E specifications. Its 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter in patching areas while the flexible jacket simplifies routing and connection in confined spaces. The green colour helps with port and circuit identification, making cable management and maintenance more straightforward.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and routers in racks or cabinets
• Connecting patch panels to wall outlets in offices and server rooms
• Short horizontal or equipment-side connections where a 1 m length is sufficient
• Environments requiring colour-coded cabling for organisation and troubleshooting

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded UTP cable is not intended for use where protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI) is required; shielded cable types would be more appropriate in such environments. It is also not suitable for runs longer than the rated 1 metre when longer distance connections are needed, or for applications that demand Cat.6a or higher performance specifications.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Green
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 (8P8C), standard modular plugs
• Designed for: Ethernet networks including Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or wall socket) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors click into place and that both ends are seated firmly. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, and keep the patch cable separate from power cables or strong EMI sources. Replace the cable if connectors become damaged or if performance degrades.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 1 m meets your patching needs
• Need for shielded cable if operating in high-EMI environments
• Performance requirements—whether Cat.6 (Class E) is sufficient or higher category is needed
• Colour coding conventions in your installation to ensure the green jacket is appropriate

Usage recommendations

Use the Secomp Cat.6 UTP patch cable for short, reliable connections in rack and office patching fields, keep runs tidy by selecting the correct length, and maintain separation from power lines to preserve signal integrity.
