Ethernet patch cable Secomp Cat6 (Class E) UTP, blue, 10 m

Secomp Cat6 (Class E) UTP Ethernet patch cable, 10 m, blue, is a network cable engineered for LAN connections in offices, server rooms and structured cabling systems. Its Category 6 performance meets Class E specifications and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds under typical installation conditions. The unshielded twisted pair construction makes the cable compatible with standard network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets.

Advantages

The cable offers Category 6 electrical characteristics designed to reduce crosstalk and support higher data rates compared with lower category cables. A 10 metre length provides flexibility for connecting devices across workstations and patch panels without intermediate splices. The blue jacket helps with visual identification in cable bundles and racks, while the UTP design keeps the cable lightweight and easy to route.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections within LANs
• Connections between switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets
• Office, data-closet and small server-room structured cabling
• Temporary or permanent horizontal cabling runs up to 10 m

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) where shielded cabling would be required to maintain signal integrity. It is also not intended for outdoor or direct-burial use unless protected by conduit or rated outer sheath.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E) performance
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 10 metres
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Typical application: Ethernet LANs up to Gigabit speeds

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end to the port on a switch, router or wall outlet and the other end to the network device to establish a physical Ethernet link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and avoid tight bends or kinks; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve performance. For rack or patch-panel installations, route the cable neatly and secure it using cable management accessories to prevent strain on the terminations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required cable category (Cat6) matches your network equipment and performance needs
• Confirm 10 m length is sufficient for the planned run and allows for routing and slack
• Check whether a shielded cable or outdoor-rated cable is needed for your environment
• Consider colour coding needs for consistent cable management

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, pair this Cat6 UTP cable with compliant connectors and network devices, avoid running parallel to power cables, and replace any cable that shows visible damage or degraded connectivity.
