Secomp Patch Cable Cat6 UTP (Class E) — 5 m, black, model S1765

Secomp Patch Cable Cat6 UTP (Class E) — 5 m, black, model S1765 is a stranded Ethernet patch cord designed for structured cabling and network patching. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction and Cat6 (Class E) performance support Gigabit Ethernet speeds over a 5 m length. The cable is terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels, wall outlets and workstation network ports in offices, server rooms and data closets.

Advantages

This Secomp Cat6 UTP patch cable provides Class E performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and typical office network needs. The 5 m length offers flexibility for standard rack-to-desk or patch-panel-to-switch connections without excess slack. UTP design keeps the cable lightweight and flexible for neat installation, while the RJ45 terminations are compatible with common network equipment. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible runs and blends with typical office and datacenter equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in small and medium-sized network racks
• Linking desktop workstations to wall outlets or floor boxes
• Patching between network equipment such as routers, switches and modems
• Temporary or permanent office cable runs where a 5 m cable length is appropriate

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6 patch cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) would be required. It is a stranded patch cord designed primarily for patching and horizontal connections rather than permanent in-wall installations where solid-conductor cabling is usually recommended.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E) performance
• Conductor type: stranded copper
• Shielding: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: black
• Intended use: Ethernet, Gigabit networking, structured cabling patching

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to a network switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ45 plug to the device or wall outlet you want to network. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured by the plug latch. For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable, sharp bends, or running the cable parallel and close to power lines that may introduce interference. Use appropriate cable management such as patch panels, cable ties or cable organizers to keep runs tidy and reduce strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a stranded patch cable is suitable for your use case; solid conductors are recommended for permanent in-wall installations.
• Consider whether an unshielded cable is acceptable for the installation environment or if shielded cable is needed for high-EMI areas.
• Confirm that a 5 m length meets routing requirements between equipment to avoid excess slack or insufficient reach.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this Secomp Cat6 UTP patch cable for short to medium patching runs in offices and data closets, keep the cable away from sources of electrical interference, and secure connections in a properly mounted patch panel or switch to reduce connector strain.
