Patch Cable UTP Cat6 (Class E) Secomp S1762, 2 m, black

Secomp S1762 is a UTP Cat6 (Class E) patch cable in black with a length of 2 metres, intended for Ethernet networking and structured cabling. The cable supports Category 6 performance characteristics suitable for gigabit LAN connections and is compatible with standard RJ45 ports used in switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets in office, server room and home network environments.

Advantages

The cable provides Category 6 electrical performance for reliable gigabit data transmission over short to medium distances and is terminated with standard RJ45 connectors for plug-and-play use. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design reduces crosstalk at the cable level while keeping the assembly flexible and easy to route. With a 2 m length and black jacket, the cable is convenient for typical patching situations in racks, under desks and behind equipment where a compact connection is required.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and endpoints
• Patch panels and server cabinet front-panel patching
• Workstation and office desk connections to wall outlets
• Home network connections for PCs, media players and smart devices

When it may not be suitable

This UTP Cat6 patch cable is not intended for environments that require additional shielding against electromagnetic interference; for such locations a shielded cable (STP/FTP) would be more appropriate. It is also designed for standard in-building structured cabling and patching and is not intended as permanent outdoor burial cable or for direct exposure to harsh weather without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Colour: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet / LAN patching

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the Secomp S1762 patch cable to the network device (switch, router, PC NIC or wall outlet) and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the desired network settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain at the connector ends. For rack installations, use cable management to secure and separate patch cables to maintain organisation and minimise interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required length and cable colour for your installation and cable management plan
• Decide whether UTP (unshielded) is sufficient or if a shielded cable is needed for high-EMI environments
• Ensure Cat6 performance meets your network speed and future upgrade expectations

Usage recommendations

Use the Secomp S1762 2 m Cat6 UTP patch cable for short to medium-length patching in racks and workstations, keep cable runs below recommended bend radius, and organise multiple cables with labelled cable management to maintain traceability and reliable network performance.
