Product Description
What is the RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-40M-B for?
This is a 40 metre Cat6 patch lead with RJ45 connectors already fitted on both ends — plug it in and it works, no crimping tools needed. It's built for network runs that outgrow the usual 5–10m lead, such as a switch in one room feeding an IP camera or NVR in another, or a run between outbuildings.

Where it fits
Because it terminates in standard RJ45, it connects straight to routers, network switches, PCs and IP cameras — no adapters needed. In a CCTV setup, that means running it from your NVR or PoE switch out to a camera position without stacking shorter leads together, which keeps the connection simpler and avoids extra joints that can fail.
Before you buy
Check your run distance against the 40m length — it's supplied as one length, not cut to size. Also confirm it's for an indoor installation, since the jacket isn't described as weatherproof, and outdoor camera runs typically need cable rated for outside use instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable pre-terminated or do I need to fit the connectors myself?
It's supplied pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends, so it's plug-and-play straight out of the box.
Can I use this to connect an IP camera or NVR?
Yes — it's compatible with routers, switches, PCs, IP cameras and NVR recorders via standard RJ45 ports.
Is the 40m length fixed, or can it be cut shorter?
It's supplied as a single 40 metre pre-terminated run, so check your distance needs before ordering.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
The listing describes a black outer jacket for indoor installations, so it isn't specified as suitable for outdoor runs.
