Patch cable Secomp Cat.6 (Class E) UTP, white, 0.5 m, S1770

Secomp Cat.6 (Class E) UTP patch cable in white, 0.5 m (model S1770) is a short unshielded twisted pair cable intended for connecting network devices where Cat6/Class E performance is required. The cable supports standard Ethernet signalling for short patch connections between switches, patch panels, routers and network endpoints in offices, server racks and home networks. Its 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in dense installations while maintaining Category 6 electrical characteristics.

Advantages

The Secomp Cat.6 UTP patch cable provides Class E performance in a compact 0.5 m form factor, allowing straightforward, low-loss interconnections in patch bays and equipment racks. Being an unshielded twisted pair design, it is lightweight and flexible for easy routing in tight spaces. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible runs and helps with colour-coded installations when combined with other cable colours.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in offices and data closets
• Short connections inside server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting routers, IP phones, desktops and access points where short cable runs are needed
• Home and small-office networks requiring Cat6/Class E performance for gigabit Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance runs or permanent in-wall installations where longer, plenum-rated or shielded cabling may be required. For environments with high electromagnetic interference or where additional protection is needed, a shielded cable (STP/FTP) or specialist installation cables should be considered instead.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E) performance
• Cabling type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: White
• Typical use: Ethernet patching for gigabit networks

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, patch panel, router or endpoint) and the other into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the short 0.5 m length to reduce cable clutter in patch bays and behind equipment and label both ends if used in larger installations for easy identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length — 0.5 m is suitable for short patch connections only
• Environment — UTP is appropriate for typical office/home use but not for high-EMI environments
• Performance needs — Cat.6 (Class E) supports gigabit Ethernet; verify compatibility with existing hardware
• Installation type — not intended for in-wall or plenum installations unless specified otherwise

Usage recommendations

Use this Secomp Cat.6 UTP patch cable for tidy, short interconnections in patch panels and racks. Keep bend radius gentle, avoid running parallel to power cabling, and replace with shielded or longer cable types when required by installation standards or environmental conditions.
