Product Description
A 2m Cat6 patch cable is a short, fixed-length lead for joining a camera, NVR (network video recorder) or switch that already sit close together — inside a cabinet, on a wall bracket, or across a rack. It won't stretch a long camera run; for that you need bulk cable and separate connectors.
Key specs
- Type: Cat.6, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction
- Bandwidth: 250MHz supported
- Conductor: 24AWG copper, gold-plated copper alloy pins on the RJ45 connectors
- Attenuation: 32.8dB/100m at 250MHz — low signal loss at this length
- Housing/jacket: polycarbonate connector shells, PVC jacket, 5.8mm diameter
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm, worth checking if space inside a patch panel or camera housing is tight
- Colour/length: blue, 2m (4.92ft)
Where it's used
On a CCTV job, this length typically patches a camera drop into a nearby switch port, links an NVR to a PoE switch, or completes a short cross-connect inside a cabinet. It has no shielding, so keep it away from long parallel runs next to heavy electrical cabling if interference is a concern.
Before you buy
Check the 2m length actually reaches between your two points — Cat6 cable isn't meant to be joined or extended casually. Confirm your equipment uses standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, which this cable is built for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What length is this cable?
It's 2 metres (4.92ft) long — designed for short runs between devices that are already close together, such as a camera and a nearby switch.
Is this cable shielded?
No — it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, so avoid running it tightly alongside heavy electrical cabling.
What bandwidth does it support?
It supports 250MHz, which covers standard Cat.6 network and PoE traffic for CCTV equipment.
What connector type does it use?
Both ends have RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated copper alloy pins, matching standard Ethernet ports on cameras, NVRs and switches.
