Secomp STANDARD UTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) white, 5 m, model S1775

Secomp STANDARD UTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) white, 5 m, model S1775 is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat.6/Class E performance for reliable Gigabit networking. With a 5 metre length and white jacket, this cable is intended for home and office LAN connections, linking devices to patch panels, switches and wall outlets. The construction follows Cat.6 signal and pair-twist requirements to support high-speed data transmission and standard network infrastructure installations.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat.6/Class E performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and common high-speed applications, while the UTP construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in patching environments. The 5 m length balances reach and neatness in desk- and rack-level installations, and the white outer jacket offers a neutral aesthetic for visible runs. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and typical network equipment designed for Cat.6 cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and VoIP phones to switches or wall outlets within the same room or between adjacent rooms
• Patching between switches and patch panels in home or small office racks
• Setting up Gigabit Ethernet links for streaming, file transfer and online collaboration

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (UTP) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is required to reduce noise. It may also be unsuitable for runs longer than recommended standards for reliable high-speed transmission without active network equipment or repeaters.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E) performance for Gigabit Ethernet
• Topology: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 5 metres
• Colour: White
• Typical use: Horizontal patching, device-to-switch connections and patch panels

How to use

Terminate each end with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated plugs if not already fitted. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For patching, insert the RJ45 plugs into switch, patch panel or wall outlet ports until the latch clicks. Verify link status and network speed on connected devices to confirm successful connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether UTP cabling is acceptable for your installation environment or if shielded cable is needed
• Measure the required cable length with allowance for routing and slack
• Ensure connected equipment supports Cat.6/Class E performance to benefit from the cable's capabilities

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance keep individual horizontal runs within industry-recommended length limits, avoid bundling the cable next to power lines, and use proper patch panels or keystone jacks for structured installations.
