Product Description
The Cat6 Ethernet Cable 3m: 250MHz Speed RJ45 is a fixed 3-metre patch lead with RJ45 male connectors at both ends — no shielding (U/UTP), so it's a straightforward data cable for home networking, office equipment, or CCTV installs alike.
At 3m, it's best thought of as a short patching length: linking an NVR to a switch, a PoE injector to a camera run, bridging ports within a cabinet, or simply connecting a router to a nearby PC — not a full point-to-point camera drop across a building.
Key specs
- Type: Cat.6, supporting 250MHz bandwidth
- Length: 3m (9.84ft)
- Conductors: 24AWG copper, U/UTP (unshielded)
- Attenuation: 32.8dB/100m at 250MHz
- Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated copper alloy pins, polycarbonate housing, approx. 11.6×22.8×8.3mm (WxDxH) — worth checking against tightly packed switch ports or keystone/cabinet spaces
- Jacket: PVC, 5.8mm (0.23in) diameter, blue
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm (2.72in) — avoid tighter loops when routing it, as this stresses the copper pairs
- Operating temperature: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F)
- Storage temperature: -20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F)
If you're patching a PoE camera or NVR, check your switch or injector's own PoE specification separately — this cable's job is to carry the signal over copper pairs, not to set the voltage.
The blue jacket helps colour-code data runs against power or coax cabling in a mixed CCTV and network cabinet. Ships in a polybag and carries RoHS, REACH, UL and California Proposition 65 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable long enough to run from a camera to an NVR?
At 3m it's really a patching length — better suited to switch-to-NVR or cabinet connections than a full camera drop across a building.
Does this cable support PoE power for cameras?
The cable itself carries data over 24AWG copper pairs; whether it delivers PoE power depends on the switch or injector it's connected to, not the cable's own spec.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
No — it's a U/UTP (unshielded) design, so it doesn't have the extra shielding layer used in cables built for high-interference environments.
What bend radius should I keep when routing this cable?
Keep loops no tighter than the minimum bend radius of 69mm (2.72in) to avoid stressing the copper conductors inside.
