Product Description
A 5m Cat6 patch lead that does one job well: a reliable, fast wired link between two network devices — camera to switch, NVR to router, or PC to wall port.
Key specs
- Category 6 certified, supporting data transfer of up to 1Gbps
- 250MHz rated frequency
- UTP (unshielded twisted pair) — 8 core, 4 twisted pairs
- Stranded conductors, 7 strands per core, for flexibility
- LSZH (LS0H) jacket — low smoke, zero halogen
- Flush-moulded, snagless boots — slim profile, clip stays protected but easy to reach
- Flexible strain-relief moulded collar at each end
Where it fits
At 5m, this suits linking a camera or NVR to a nearby switch, patching within a cabinet, or connecting a PC to a wall outlet. It's built for both indoor and outdoor usage, so it can handle a short outdoor run as well as an indoor patch job.
Before you buy
Check the 5m length actually covers your run with a little slack — Cat6 UTP doesn't stretch, and tight, kinked cable degrades performance. For CCTV setups, this cable carries data (and PoE power, where your hardware supports it) between devices, but it won't fix a weak power supply if your camera's IR is flickering at night — that's usually the adapter or cable run feeding the camera itself, not this patch lead.
