Patch Cable Secomp Cat6 (Class E) UTP, black, 10 m, model S1769

Secomp S1769 is a Category 6 (Class E) UTP patch cable in black with a 10 m length, designed for network patching and horizontal cabling. The cable supports Cat6 performance for Ethernet and data links in LAN environments and is intended for connecting switches, patch panels, routers and network outlets in offices, datacenters and home networks. The unshielded twisted pair construction and standard RJ45 terminated ends provide compatibility with existing Cat5e/Cat6 infrastructure while offering Cat6-level signal characteristics across the specified length.

Advantages

The Secomp Cat6 UTP 10 m patch cable delivers consistent performance for standard Ethernet applications up to Gigabit speeds, with reliable electrical characteristics provided by Category 6 design. Its 10 metre length offers flexibility for rack-to-desk or patch-panel-to-switch connections without excessive cable slack. The black jacket gives a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible runs in office or home environments and helps with colour-coded installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or wall outlets in LANs
• Horizontal cabling runs within offices and server rooms
• Home network connections between routers, switches and NAS devices
• Temporary or permanent patching in datacentres and telecommunications rooms

When it may not be suitable

This UTP (unshielded) Cat6 cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) would be more appropriate. It also does not provide Category 6a or higher performance guarantees for 10GBASE-T over longer distances; for sustained 10 Gbit/s over longer horizontal runs, higher-category or shielded cables should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Configuration: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Black
• Connector: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Intended use: Ethernet LAN patching and horizontal cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, patch panel or wall jack) and the other connector into the corresponding port of the destination device. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of electromagnetic interference. For structured cabling, use proper cable management such as patch panels, cable ties and trunking to maintain performance and ease of maintenance. Test the link after installation with a network tester if verification of link speed and wiring is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required performance: confirm Cat6 meets your bandwidth needs and whether Cat6a/10G capability is required
• Environment: choose shielded cable if operating near strong EMI sources
• Length: verify 10 m is sufficient for the intended run to avoid excess slack or need for extensions
• Connector compatibility: ensure RJ45 termination matches your devices and patch panels

Usage recommendations

Use the Secomp Cat6 UTP 10 m cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and home networks, manage runs with proper cable routing to preserve signal integrity, and validate performance with a link tester after installation.
