Product Description
This 1m purple Cat5e patch cable is for short, tidy links between switches, patch panels and IP CCTV cameras — not for long runs across a building.
What it does in practice: it's a Cat5e unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable, meaning the four twisted pairs inside have no metal screen — fine for typical office or home network noise levels, and it supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (Fast and Gigabit speeds).
Why solid copper matters: solid copper conductors (rather than stranded) give stable signal transmission and efficient PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivery, which matters if you're powering an IP camera down the same cable that carries its data.
Why LSZH matters: the sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), so it releases less smoke and fewer toxic gases if it's ever caught in a fire — a real consideration for cables run through offices, plant rooms, or enclosed CCTV cabinets rather than open air.
Before you buy
- Confirm your run is genuinely 1m — this length suits patch panel-to-switch or camera-to-wall-plate jumps, not room-to-room runs.
- It terminates to standard RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, and patch panels, so it drops straight into existing structured cabling.
- The purple jacket is purely for identification — handy for colour-coding CCTV VLANs or circuits separately from data cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable power a PoE CCTV camera?
Yes — the solid copper conductors support efficient PoE power delivery alongside data, so it can carry both to a PoE-enabled IP camera.
What speeds does it support?
It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, meaning it's rated for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Is this cable shielded?
No, it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) Cat5e, suitable for standard LAN and CCTV network installations.
Why choose the LSZH version?
LSZH sheathing emits less smoke and fewer harmful gases if exposed to fire, making it a safer choice for enclosed spaces like offices, data racks, or CCTV cabinets.
