CAT6/CAT5e RJ45 Ethernet Cable - Fast Speed LAN Lead for Router, PC, PS4, CCTV

This is a 25-metre CAT6/CAT5e-rated Ethernet cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors at both ends, aimed at CCTV runs, router/PC/PS4 connections and general network extension.

What it's for

If you're running a cable from a DVR/NVR to a camera position that's some distance away, or linking a router to a switch, the 25m length means one continuous run rather than joining shorter cables. Fewer joints generally means fewer potential points of failure on a run.

Compatibility

• Standard: CAT6/CAT5e — this supports high-speed data transfer, so it's suitable for bandwidth-heavy traffic like video streams from IP cameras.
• Because it's CAT6/CAT5e rated, it can be used as a drop-in replacement or extension on existing CAT5e networks as well as newer CAT6 setups.
• Connectors: gold-plated RJ45 at both ends.
• Finish: black sheath.

Before you buy

Check the distance you actually need — 25m covers most single-room-to-riser or short outbuilding runs, but measure your route (including any slack for dressing the cable) rather than a straight-line guess. Also confirm your camera or NVR uses standard RJ45 Ethernet connections, since this cable won't help with proprietary or coax-based systems.

Build

The construction is described as durable, intended to cope with both indoor and outdoor installation — useful if part of your run goes through a loft, external wall, or garden.
