Product Description
A 40m Cat6 patch lead like this one gives you a single run of cable to connect a network device to your switch or router without joining shorter cables together.
What it's for
This is a pre-terminated Cat6 cable (RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-40M-W) — RJ45 connectors ("the standard 8P8C network plug") are already fitted on both ends, so it's plug-and-play: no crimping tools, no punch-down blocks.
It supports Gigabit Ethernet, so it's suitable for general LAN traffic and for IP CCTV cameras or NVRs where a wired connection is preferred over Wi-Fi for reliability.
Where the 40m length matters
At 40 metres, this lead is meant for connecting devices that sit further apart — a camera at the far side of a building, a switch in a cabinet down the hall, or a PC in another room — without needing a coupler joint.
Before you buy
- Check your run length — 40m is a fixed length; if devices are closer, a shorter lead avoids excess slack to manage.
- Colour — white jacket, chosen to blend with indoor walls and trunking rather than being outdoor-rated.
- Connectors — standard RJ45, so it should fit typical ports on routers, switches, PCs and IP cameras without adapters.
It's built for indoor structured cabling, home networks, office LANs and IP CCTV installs where a dependable wired link is needed over a longer distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable long enough to reach a camera in another room?
At 40 metres it's intended for exactly that — connecting devices across separate rooms or to a network cabinet without joining shorter cables.
Does it work with IP CCTV cameras?
Yes, the product is listed as compatible with routers, switches, PCs and IP cameras, and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Do I need to fit my own connectors?
No, the RJ45 connectors are pre-terminated on both ends for plug-and-play installation.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
It's described with a white outer jacket for indoor network setups, so it's intended for indoor installations rather than outdoor runs.
