Product Description
A 20m Cat6 U/UTP Ethernet cable in blue, built for runs between a router, switch or NVR and a camera, access point or PC where distance is the main challenge.
What it's actually for
This is a patch cable, not a system component — it carries data (and PoE power, if your devices support it) between two RJ45 ports. The 20m length covers longer runs across a house, office or comms cabinet-to-camera distance without needing a coupler joint, which is worth avoiding since joints are a common point of signal loss.
Key specs
- Length: 20m, blue jacket, PVC, 5.8mm diameter
- Conductor: 24AWG copper, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair — no metal screen, so keep it away from heavy electrical interference)
- Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated copper alloy pins, polycarbonate housing
- Bandwidth: 250MHz, supporting gigabit (1000Mbps) speeds
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm — don't coil it tighter than this when routing through walls or trunking
- Operating temperature: -10°C to 60°C
Before you buy
Check your camera or NVR uses standard RJ45 connections and that 20m fits your actual cable run (measure the path, not the straight-line distance). Because it's U/UTP rather than shielded, it's fine for typical home or office cable routes but isn't the pick if you're running it alongside high-interference electrical cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable support PoE (Power over Ethernet) for my camera?
The cable itself carries the necessary conductors for PoE, but whether it powers your device depends on your camera and NVR/switch supporting PoE — check that separately.
Is 20m long enough for my install?
Measure the actual route the cable will take (through walls, along skirting, etc.), not the straight-line distance, since 20m needs to cover the full physical path.
Does this cable have a metal shield against interference?
No — it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), so it's best routed away from heavy electrical cabling that could cause interference.
Is it compatible with older Cat5 equipment?
Yes, Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5 devices, though speeds will be limited by the older equipment.
