Patch Cable UTP Cat6 (Class E) Secomp S1779, 10 m, white

Secomp S1779 is a UTP Cat6 (Class E) patch cable in white, 10 m long, designed for Ethernet and structured cabling. The cable supports Gigabit network connections and provides a straightforward connection between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. Its Category 6 specification ensures improved performance over Cat5e in environments that require higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk.

Advantages

The Secomp S1779 offers reliable data transmission for local area networks, with construction and impedance characteristics that meet Category 6 (Class E) requirements. The 10 m length provides flexibility for typical office, datacenter or home installations while the unshielded twisted pair design simplifies grounding and installation. The white jacket helps with discreet routing and visual organisation in light-coloured environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between network devices (switch-to-switch, switch-to-router, switch-to-patch panel)
• Structured cabling in offices and small to medium datacentres
• Home networking where Cat6 performance is needed for streaming, gaming or file transfers
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in managed network closets

When it may not be suitable

This UTP Cat6 patch cable is unshielded, so it may not be appropriate in environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is recommended. For runs longer than the patch length or for permanent in-wall installation, a dedicated in-wall rated or longer-length cable should be chosen to meet building and installation standards.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Conductor type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 10 m
• Color: White
• Application: Ethernet / structured cabling, Gigabit networks

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug end of the patch cable to the network port on a switch, router, patch panel or workstation and the other end to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. For organised installations, route the cable through cable management channels, avoid sharp bends and keep it separate from high-voltage power cables to reduce interference. Test the link speed and connectivity after installation with a network tester or by verifying device link indicators.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length and consider an allowance for routing and cable management
• Decide whether unshielded UTP Cat6 meets site EMI conditions or if shielded cable is required
• Confirm connector compatibility (standard RJ45) with your network equipment
• Check whether in-wall or plenum-rated cable is needed for permanent installations

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, avoid tight bends and kinks, maintain recommended separation from power wiring, and test each run after installation. Use structured patching practices—label both ends and route through management panels—to simplify maintenance and future changes.
