Patch cable UTP Category 6 (Class E), Secomp, 10 m, black

Secomp UTP Category 6 (Class E) patch cable, 10 m in black, is a network patch lead designed for structured Ethernet installations. The cable supports Category 6/Class E transmission parameters for reliable data transfer and is intended for use with patch panels, network switches and workstation ports. Its 10 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices in offices, server rooms and other local area network environments while maintaining signal integrity expected from Cat6 cabling.

Advantages

The cable provides Class E performance characteristics suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols within a LAN. A standard RJ45 terminated UTP construction ensures compatibility with common network equipment without impedance-matching adapters. The 10 m length reduces the need for intermediate patching and allows neat cable routing between racks, desks and wall outlets. The black jacket offers discreet installation and consistent appearance in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting workstations, printers and IP phones to switches
• Patching between patch panels and network switches in comms cabinets
• Desktop or under-desk cable runs requiring a 10 m length
• Structured LAN installations in offices and small server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Class E) UTP
• Length: 10 metres
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Connectors: Standard 8P8C (RJ45) terminated at both ends
• Colour: Black
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and lower-speed Ethernet standards compatible with Cat6

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, patch panel or router and the other into the device to be connected, such as a PC, printer or access point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of electrical interference. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables for extended lengths.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within indoor networking environments and avoid exposure to moisture, direct sunlight or temperatures outside standard operating ranges. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local building and cabling standards and consider cable types specifically rated for that purpose. Test links after installation using appropriate network testers to confirm Category 6 performance and continuity.
