Product Description
This is a 100m reel of outdoor Cat5e cable for running network and CCTV connections between buildings. It's built with solid pure copper conductors, not the cheaper copper-clad aluminium (CCA) some outdoor cable uses, which matters if you're powering an IP camera over PoE on a long run — copper keeps resistance and voltage drop lower.
Where it's used
- Point-to-point links between buildings or outbuildings
- Feeding outdoor wireless access points or IP cameras
- Duct runs, building exteriors and catenary (suspended) wire installs
Key specs
- 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP), solid copper
- Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over all four pairs
- Exceeds ANSI/TIA Cat5e performance requirements
- Black LDPE/PE outer sheath, weather-resistant for outdoor use
- 100m reel with metre marking, so you can measure runs and find faults without guesswork
Before you buy
Check your termination hardware — this cable works with standard Cat5e RJ45 plugs, patch panels and keystone jacks, so it fits straight into most existing structured cabling setups. If you're running PoE cameras, solid copper conductors like these are the safer choice over CCA for maintaining stable power at distance. Termination quality matters as much as the cable itself for reliable Gigabit performance outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for powering PoE cameras outdoors?
Yes — it uses solid pure copper conductors rather than CCA, which gives lower resistance and is better suited to PoE runs than aluminium-cored cable.
Can I bury this cable or run it in a duct?
The black LDPE/PE outer sheath is weather-resistant and the cable is designed for use in ducts, on building exteriors and on catenary runs.
What speeds does this cable support?
It's 4-pair UTP Cat5e, rated for 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet over all four pairs when properly terminated.
Will it work with my existing Cat5e connectors and patch panels?
Yes — it's compatible with standard Cat5e RJ45 plugs, patch panels and keystone jacks from Connectix and other structured cabling brands.
