Product Description
A 15m CAT6 patch lead for the runs where a shorter cable just won't stretch — camera to switch, NVR to router, or a loft-to-rack extension.
What it actually does
This is a fixed, ready-made cable (no field termination) with an RJ-45 plug at each end. It's rated CAT6 at 650 MHz, which supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is more than enough bandwidth for IP camera streams and general PoE-powered network gear. Wiring follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, so it matches standard UK network and CCTV installs.
What's inside it
- 4-pair UTP, 24 AWG stranded copper conductors — stranded copper is what you want in a patch lead, since it flexes better than solid-core cable when routed round racks or camera housings
- Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, snagless boots to stop the retaining clip catching on other cables
- PVC jacket, CMG fire rated (general purpose — not a plenum-rated cable, so it's not intended for use inside air-handling spaces)
- ETL Verified, confirming the cable has been independently tested to spec
Before you buy
Check the length actually suits your run — at 15m fixed, it's not something you can trim or re-terminate. If you're powering a camera over this lead, confirm your switch's per-port PoE budget covers the camera's PoE class separately, as that's a power question rather than a cable-rating one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for powering PoE CCTV cameras?
Yes, at CAT6 650 MHz it supports standard PoE loads, but check your camera's PoE class against your switch's per-port power budget separately.
Can I cut this cable to a shorter length?
No, it's supplied as a fixed 15m lead with factory-fitted RJ-45 connectors, so it isn't designed for field termination or trimming.
What wiring standard does this cable use?
It's wired to TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B, the standard used in most UK network and CCTV installations.
Is this cable rated for use in air ducts or ceiling voids?
No, it has a CMG fire rating, which is general purpose only and not a plenum rating for air-handling spaces.
