Product Description
This is a 4-metre CAT6/CAT5e patch cable, built to bridge the gap between a network device and a wall port, switch or NVR (network video recorder). Because it's dual-rated for CAT6 and CAT5e, it works whether your network runs older CAT5e kit or newer CAT6 gear — no need to match cable type to switch generation.
Where it actually helps
Think last-metre connection, not a full building run: linking an NVR to a patch panel, a PC to a router, or a PoE injector to a switch. At 4 metres it covers a desk, a rack, or a short hop across a room comfortably.
What the build gives you
- UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction — the pairs are twisted to cut down electrical interference, which matters for keeping video streams and file transfers from stuttering.
- Gold-plated RJ45 connectors — the standard plug for routers, PCs, PS4s, CCTV cameras and NVRs; gold plating resists corrosion where the contacts meet.
- Black finish — blends in alongside other cabling in a rack or on a wall run.
Before you buy
Check the distance you actually need — 4 metres won't stretch across a building, so measure the run from your camera, NVR or switch to the connection point first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my CAT5e network?
Yes — it's dual-rated CAT6/CAT5e, so it works on CAT5e and CAT6 networks without needing a different cable.
Is 4 metres enough for connecting an NVR to a patch panel?
It suits a last-metre link such as NVR-to-patch-panel or switch-to-camera, but measure your actual run first since 4 metres won't cover a long backbone pull.
What does UTP mean and why does it matter for CCTV?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair — the twisted wires cut down electrical interference, helping keep video streams and data transfer stable.
Does the connector type matter for CCTV cameras?
The cable uses gold-plated RJ45 connectors, the standard connector for routers, PCs, PS4s, CCTV cameras and NVRs, with gold plating that resists corrosion at the contacts.
