Ethernet patch cable Secomp Cat.6 (Class E) UTP, green, 10 m

Secomp Cat.6 (Class E) UTP Ethernet patch cable in green, 10 m, is a flexible unshielded twisted pair cable intended for wired network connections. It supports Cat.6/Class E performance and is designed for use with LAN equipment such as switches, routers and patch panels. The cable is suitable for data transfer, VoIP and multimedia streaming in home and office environments where reliable gigabit-class connectivity and predictable signal quality are required.

Advantages

This Cat.6 UTP patch cable offers consistent electrical performance for frequencies up to Cat.6/Class E standards, enabling stable data throughput for 1 Gbps networks. The unshielded twisted pair design reduces crosstalk between pairs while remaining flexible for routing through cable trays and conduits. A 10 m length provides reach for typical rack-to-workstation or room-to-switch connections, and the green jacket makes cable identification and colour-coded installations straightforward.

Suitable for

• Ethernet LAN connections up to 1 Gbps between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Office workstations, desktop PCs and VoIP phone connections
• Home networks for streaming multimedia and online gaming
• Structured cabling where colour-coded patching is used

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat.6 cable is not intended for installations that require shielded cabling to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as close runs beside industrial equipment or heavy machinery generating electrical noise. It may also be unnecessary for short, permanently routed in-wall installs where plenum-rated or in-wall certified cable types are mandated by building codes.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E) performance
• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 10 metres
• Colour: Green
• Typical use: Ethernet patching for 1 Gbps networks

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the endpoint device such as a PC or IP phone. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it separated from power cables and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Test the link with a network tester if precise validation of pair integrity and throughput is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required cable length and allow slack for routing and future moves
• Evaluate whether unshielded UTP is acceptable or if shielded cable is required for the environment
• Check building or industry regulations for in-wall or plenum-rated cable if planning permanent installation

Usage recommendations

Use this Secomp Cat.6 UTP patch cable for standard gigabit Ethernet patching in offices and homes. For runs near electrical equipment or long parallel runs with power cabling, consider shielded alternatives or separate routing to minimise interference.
