Product Description
The RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-20M-W is a 20-metre Cat6 patch cable built for gigabit network runs, including CCTV-to-DVR/NVR links where the camera and recorder are some distance apart.
What it's actually for
If you're wiring an IP camera, a DVR, or a network switch and the run needs to cross a room or reach round a house, this is the length and standard to check first. Cat6 supports gigabit speeds (up to 1000Mbps), which covers most home and small-business CCTV and networking needs comfortably.
Key specs
- Length: 20m — enough for most single-room-to-cupboard or camera-to-recorder runs
- Standard: Cat6, backward compatible with Cat5 devices
- Construction: pure copper conductors, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
- Connectors: moulded RJ45 on both ends
- Profile: slim, just over 1mm high — slides under carpets and flooring
- Colour: white, for a discreet finish against walls and skirting
- Compliance: RoHS
Things worth checking before you buy
- UTP has no shielding, so keep runs away from heavy electrical interference (fluorescent lighting, mains cabling) where possible.
- Confirm your camera, DVR, NVR, or switch ports are RJ45 and gigabit-capable to get the full benefit of Cat6.
- For outdoor or under-floor routes, check whether the run needs additional protection, as this listing doesn't specify an outdoor-rated jacket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Cat6 cable work with my CCTV DVR or NVR?
Yes, as long as the DVR or NVR has an RJ45 network port, this cable will connect it — it's built for gigabit network use, which covers most modern recorders.
Is 20m long enough for a typical camera run?
For most single-room or camera-to-recorder distances within a home or small office, 20m is enough. Measure your actual route, including any detours round doorways or corners, before ordering.
Can I run this cable under a carpet or floor?
The cable has a slim profile of just over 1mm in height, which is designed to allow it to sit under carpets, flooring, or behind furniture without a lump showing.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
No, it uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction. It's fine for most home and office use, but try to keep the run away from mains cabling or fluorescent lighting where possible.
