Product Description
What this cable is for
This is a 305 metre reel of Cat6 U/UTP cable — the bulk cabling you'd run to wire up IP cameras, switches and access points across a building. "U/UTP" means unshielded twisted pair, the standard choice for most office and home installs unless you have heavy electrical interference nearby.
Why it matters for CCTV
IP cameras need both data and often power (PoE) over the same cable. Solid copper conductors give the stable electrical performance PoE cameras rely on, so image and power delivery stay consistent rather than degrading over a long run.
Key facts
- 305m pull box — designed to feed out cleanly during first-fix cabling, so you don't need to unspool the whole reel
- Cat6 spec — supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10 Gigabit is possible but only over shorter runs than standard Cat6 distances
- LSZH sheath — Low Smoke Zero Halogen; if it burns, it releases less smoke and toxic gas than standard PVC-jacketed cable, which matters for schools, hospitals, offices and other enclosed public buildings
- Purple jacket — useful for colour-coding CCTV or data runs separately from other cabling on site
- Terminates with standard RJ45 connectors, patch panels and keystone jacks
Before ordering, check your camera run distances and whether your building's fire regulations call for LSZH cable specifically — that's usually the deciding factor over standard-jacket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for powering PoE CCTV cameras?
Yes — its solid copper conductors are built to give the stable electrical performance PoE devices like IP cameras need over a run.
What does LSZH mean and why would I need it?
Low Smoke Zero Halogen: if the sheath burns it gives off less smoke and toxic gas than standard cable, which is often required in schools, hospitals and other enclosed public buildings.
Can this cable do 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
It can support 10 Gigabit, but only over reduced distances compared with standard Cat6 Gigabit runs — check your run length if that's a requirement.
What connectors and hardware does it work with?
It's compatible with standard RJ45 connectors, patch panels and keystone jacks, so it fits normal structured cabling setups.
