Product Description
The RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-2M-W is a 2-metre Cat6 patch lead for wiring an IP camera, NVR, router or switch into your network without slack getting in the way.
Why the short length matters
A 2m run is meant for connecting equipment that's already close together — a camera junction point to a nearby switch, or an NVR to a router under the same desk. Using the right length keeps a rack or cabinet tidy and avoids loops that snag or get trodden on.
Key specs
- Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated copper alloy pins, polycarbonate housing
- Cable type: Cat.6, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) — no shielding, so keep it away from heavy electrical interference
- Bandwidth: 250MHz supported, with attenuation of 32.8dB per 100m at 250MHz
- Conductor: 24AWG copper
- Jacket: PVC, 5.8mm diameter, white
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm — don't force a tighter curve or you risk signal loss
- Operating range: -10°C to 60°C, so fine for most indoor cabinets and lofts
Where it fits in a CCTV setup
Cat6 is the standard for gigabit network runs and also carries power over Ethernet (PoE) on cameras designed for it — check your camera's PoE spec separately, as this listing covers the cable only, not power delivery. It's suited to short, tidy runs rather than long camera-to-NVR distances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable carry PoE for a CCTV camera?
Cat6 cabling like this generally supports PoE, but check the camera's own PoE specification, as this listing covers the cable only, not a power source.
Is this cable shielded?
No — it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), so keep runs away from heavy electrical interference for a stable signal.
How tightly can I bend this cable when routing it?
Keep bends no tighter than the 69mm minimum bend radius to avoid signal loss.
What length is this lead, and is it enough for connecting an NVR to a router?
It's 2m long, suited to short runs between nearby equipment such as an NVR and a router under the same desk or in the same cabinet.
