Product Description
A 1 metre Cat6 patch cable rated for outdoor use — the short length you actually need when a camera or switch sits close to its connection point and you don't want slack coiled up in a cabinet.
Built with solid copper conductors rather than stranded cores, so electrical performance stays consistent along the run — this matters for PoE (Power over Ethernet), where the same cable carries both data and the power for a camera or access point.
The PE (polyethylene) outer sheath is designed to resist moisture and general weather exposure, so it's a sensible choice for routing through conduit, along an external wall, or underground in ducting, as well as indoor runs where you just want tougher cable. It's unshielded (U/UTP), meaning it relies on the twisted-pair design itself — rather than a foil or braid layer — to keep crosstalk and interference down.
Where it fits
- Speed: supports 10/100/1000 Mbps, so full Gigabit Ethernet is available if the rest of your network gear supports it
- Connectors: terminates to standard RJ45 plugs and works with keystone jacks and patch panels
- Typical use: short hops to IP CCTV cameras, network switches, or other PoE devices
Because it's only 1m, check your actual camera-to-switch or camera-to-injector distance before ordering — this length suits close, direct runs rather than long outdoor cable pulls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable carry power to a PoE CCTV camera?
Yes — the solid copper conductors are designed to support PoE applications alongside standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet data.
Is 1 metre long enough for outdoor CCTV runs?
It suits short, direct connections such as a camera sitting close to a switch or injector — measure your actual run first, as this length isn't intended for long outdoor cable pulls.
Is this cable actually suitable for outdoor installation?
The PE (polyethylene) outer sheath is designed to resist moisture and weather exposure, making it suitable for conduit, external wall, or underground ducting routes when installed properly.
Will it work with my existing patch panel or keystone jacks?
Yes — it's compatible with standard RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, and patch panels used in structured cabling systems.
