Where this fits on a CCTV job
Fifteen metres covers most mid-run situations — camera to switch, or camera to NVR (the recorder box) — where the head end sits a room or two away from the enclosure. Because both ends are already terminated, there's no field termination (crimping connectors on-site) needed: it plugs straight into the camera, switch, PoE injector or NVR port.
CAT6 vs CAT5e
CAT6 is the same physical connector as CAT5e but supports higher data rates, which matters if you're running multi-megapixel IP cameras that push more bandwidth than an analogue or lower-resolution setup. Choosing CAT6 here gives some headroom over CAT5e for that reason.
Before you buy
Check the run length you actually need — 15m is fixed, so measure the camera-to-cabinet distance first, including any awkward routing round corners or through walls, rather than assuming a straight-line measurement.
This cable is also listed as compatible with routers, PCs, PS4 and general networking use beyond CCTV.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable pre-terminated, or do I need to fit the connectors myself?
It comes terminated with RJ45 connectors at both ends, so it plugs straight into a camera, switch, PoE injector or NVR without any field crimping.
Will this work with CAT5e equipment?
Yes — CAT6 is backward compatible with CAT5e installations, so it can connect to CAT5e ports or existing runs.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
Yes, it's rated for both indoor and outdoor use according to the product spec.
Is 15 metres enough for a camera-to-NVR run?
It suits mid-run installs where the camera enclosure is a room or two from the head end — measure your actual route, including bends, before ordering.
