Product Description
What this cable is for
This is a 305m box of external-grade Cat5e cable, built for runs between CCTV cameras, PoE devices, or VoIP phones where the cable has to survive outdoor exposure rather than sit inside trunking indoors.
It's a solid copper, U/UTP construction (no overall screening, no conductor screening) with 24 AWG conductors — eight colour-coded cores twisted into four pairs, wrapped in a black polyethylene (PE) outer sheath. The sheath is metre-marked and printed with part code and DoP (Declaration of Performance) information, which is useful for tracking how much you've used out of the box.

- Conductor: Solid bare copper, 24 AWG, Class 1
- Sheath: PE (polyethylene), black
Before you buy
Because it's U/UTP (unscreened), it's suited to typical outdoor CCTV and PoE camera runs rather than environments with heavy electrical interference. Check your camera or NVR's PoE power budget against your total cable run length before committing to a long outdoor pull, since voltage drop over distance can affect performance on longer runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for outdoor CCTV camera runs?
Yes — it's built as an external-grade cable with a UV-tested PE sheath, and its listed features include being suitable for CCTV and PoE use.
Is this a screened or unscreened cable?
It's U/UTP, meaning there's no overall screening and no individual conductor screening.
Does it support PoE-powered cameras?
The manufacturer lists it as suitable for PoE, but you should check your camera or NVR's power budget against your cable run length, as voltage drop over longer runs can affect performance.
What fire rating does this cable have?
It carries an Fca reaction-to-fire classification under EN 13501-6.
