◎ Comparison of use cases and suitability scenarios to help choose between permanent installation cable and ready-made patch cords.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Building a local network infrastructure from scratch | Secomp S1790 300 m | Designed for permanent cable runs through walls and conduits from patch panels to wall outlets. |
| Short patch connections in a network rack | Secomp S1730 0.5 m | Minimal length eliminates cable clutter between switches and patch panels. |
| Connecting a desktop PC or router at a desk | Secomp S1722 2 m or Secomp S1731 1 m | Provides the ideal fixed length and connectors for direct workstation connectivity. |
| Linking equipment placed further apart in a room | Secomp S1777 7 m | Offers sufficient reach to connect network devices separated by moderate distances. |
The Secomp S1790 UTP Network Cable Cat.6 Class E Solid Wire Eca 300 m is best suited for professional network installations requiring long-run, permanent cable routing through walls and conduits. The alternative patch cables are recommended when the structured cabling is already in place and you only need to connect end devices or patch equipment together in a rack.
