Product Description
A 1m length of Cat5e U/UTP cable (unshielded twisted pair, Category 5e) built with a black PE outer sheath for outdoor installation. It's a short cable, so think patching and jumpers rather than a full camera run.
What it's actually for
This length works well for cabinet-to-panel jumps, short tails between a keystone jack and a nearby camera, or terminating a run where the patch panel sits close to the entry point. If you need to cover distance between a camera and a switch, you'll want a longer cable — this one is for the short connection at either end.
Why the PE sheath matters
PE (polyethylene) is the outdoor-rated jacket here, which is what makes this suitable for conduit, external walls, or duct runs — a standard indoor patch lead isn't built for that exposure. It's fine indoors too if you'd rather have the extra durability.
Key specs
- Category 5e, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Solid copper conductors, 0.5mm diameter
- Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet
- Compatible with RJ45 connectors, patch panels, and keystone jacks
- Suitable for IP CCTV cameras, network switches, and general network infrastructure
Twisted pair construction is what keeps crosstalk and interference down over the run, which matters for a stable image feed from IP cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable long enough for a full CCTV camera run?
No — at 1 metre it's meant for short jumpers or patching, such as cabinet-to-panel connections, not a full run to a camera.
Can this cable be buried or run through conduit outdoors?
The PE outer sheath is designed for outdoor installation, including routing through conduit, external walls, or underground duct systems when properly installed.
Will this cable support Gigabit Ethernet for my NVR or switch?
Yes, it supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet transmission.
Does this cable work with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels?
Yes, it's compatible with RJ45 connectors, patch panels, and keystone jacks.
