Product Description
A 5m Cat6 patch lead with RJ45 connectors is the standard way to link a single IP camera or NVR to a switch without running a full structural cable. Five metres covers most short hops — camera to a nearby switch, NVR to router, or a tidy patch inside a cabinet.
Where it fits
- IP CCTV installs: patching an NVR to a switch, or a switch to a camera where first-fix cabling is already close by.
- Office and home networks: linking a switch, access point, or workstation to a wall port.
- Rack and comms cupboard tidying: a known 5m length is easier to trace than mixed offcuts.
Why Cat6 matters
The Cat6 classification supports the higher, stable data throughput that IP camera streams and NVR footage need, especially when several cameras share one uplink. Cat6 is a step up from Cat5e for sustained high-speed transfer.
Before you buy
Check the run length you actually need — 5m is for short hops, not a full room-to-room run. Confirm both ends will take standard RJ45 connectors, used across networking and IP CCTV gear. Blue casing makes it easy to spot among other cables when a cabinet has several runs going to different devices.
