Shop Wire & Cable by type
Wire & Cable covers the network cabling, patch leads and power splitters that connect CCTV cameras and networking gear. With 100 products, the range spans Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cable, ready-made patch leads, coaxial BNC/power leads, and DC power splitters for running multiple cameras from one supply.
How to choose
- Cable type: Cat6 UTP suits gigabit network runs (e.g. UKVISION Cat6 100m/305m reels); Cat5e is a common choice for standard IP camera installs.
- Indoor vs outdoor: Look for cable marked "External" or "Outdoor" with solid copper cores for runs exposed to weather; indoor-only cable (often CCA — copper-clad aluminium) is for inside runs.
- Solid copper vs CCA: Solid copper conductors are generally preferred for permanent runs; CCA is lighter-duty and typically used for shorter, indoor patch cables.
- Length: Bulk reels (100m, 305m) suit new installs; short patch leads (1m, 20m) suit final connections to cameras, switches or NVRs.
- Power splitters: If running several cameras from one 12V power supply, a DC splitter (2-way up to 6-way) lets you branch the feed instead of running separate cables back to the source.
- Analogue setups: The RG59 BNC + DC power lead combines video and power in one cable, useful for analogue camera runs.
Check what your cameras and recorder actually need before buying — connector type, cable category and indoor/outdoor rating all matter.
Wire & Cable — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cable?
Both carry network data to IP cameras and recorders; Cat6 is generally rated for higher network speeds, while Cat5e is a common, widely-used choice for standard CCTV installs.
Can I use indoor cable outdoors?
It's best to use cable specifically marked as external or outdoor, since indoor-rated CCA cable isn't designed for weather exposure.
