Secomp STANDARD UTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) white, 7 m

Secomp STANDARD UTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) white, 7 m is an unshielded twisted-pair network patch cable designed for Ethernet connectivity in structured cabling environments. With a 7 metre length and Cat.6 performance it supports gigabit Ethernet and is intended for linking switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets in office and home networks. The simple white jacket and standardized RJ45 terminations make it suitable for visible runs and rack installations where a clean, neutral appearance is required.

Advantages

This Cat.6 patch cable provides consistent performance for 1 Gbps network links and conforms to Class E characteristics for reduced crosstalk compared with lower categories. The UTP design offers flexibility and ease of routing in cable trays, conduits and around corners. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with typical network equipment and structured cabling components, while the 7 m length covers common distances between rack equipment and wall ports without introducing excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within racks and telecommunications rooms
• Wiring workstations to wall outlets in offices and home environments
• Temporary or permanent patching in small server rooms and network closets
• Gigabit Ethernet links and standard LAN data distribution up to Cat.6 performance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is an unshielded UTP design; it may not be appropriate for installations with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) where shielded cable types are required to maintain signal integrity. It is also limited to Cat.6/Class E specifications, so it will not provide the extended bandwidth or headroom of Cat.6A or Cat.7 cables that are recommended for multi-gigabit or 10 Gbps over longer distances.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 7 m
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: White
• Intended use: Ethernet/Structured cabling

How to use

Route the patch cable between the two network ports you wish to connect, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks. Plug the RJ45 connectors firmly into the equipment ports until the latch clicks. For rack-mounted setups use appropriate cable management (velcro ties, horizontal managers) to secure and separate patch cords from power cabling. Test the link speed and duplex settings after installation to confirm gigabit connectivity and proper operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Check whether unshielded cable is acceptable for your environment or if shielded cabling is needed due to EMI.
• Confirm that a 7 m length is appropriate for the planned run to avoid excess slack or shortage.
• Ensure Cat.6/Class E performance meets your current and near-future network speed requirements.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines, maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter, and secure patch cords in racks to prevent mechanical strain on connectors. Use a certified cable tester if precise verification of Cat.6 parameters is required.
