Product Description
What this is
A 1m cut length of outdoor-rated CAT6 U/UTP cable, sold from a reel so you can order the exact run you need and terminate it yourself with RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks.
Why the spec matters for CCTV
- 23AWG solid copper conductors — thicker than the usual 24AWG, so resistance and insertion loss are lower over long outdoor runs. That matters for PoE cameras, where voltage drop over distance is a real cause of unstable or underpowered devices.
- 10GBase-T to 55m, Gigabit to 100m — plenty of headroom for an IP camera backbone running standard Gigabit Ethernet.
- IEEE 802.3bt PoE support (up to 100W) — suited to higher-power PoE devices such as PTZ cameras or heated outdoor housings, not just standard PoE cameras.
- Red PE/LDPE UV-stabilised jacket — built for external duct, aerial catenary suspension or facade mounting, unlike indoor PVC-jacketed cable.
- Unshielded 4-pair (U/UTP), exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 — standard structured cabling performance, 550MHz rated.
Before you buy
Check your run length against camera PoE draw — long outdoor runs with high-power PoE++ devices benefit most from the heavier 23AWG core. Confirm your glands or conduit suit a 6.2–6.8mm cable diameter, and that your termination tools (crimper, punch-down) match RJ45 or keystone as needed.
Sold as bulk 1m sections for field termination — plugs, keystones and patch panels aren't included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable support PoE for outdoor cameras?
Yes — it's rated for IEEE 802.3bt PoE up to 100W, which covers standard PoE cameras and higher-power devices like PTZ units or heated housings.
Is this cable suitable for direct burial or aerial suspension?
The red PE/LDPE jacket is UV-stabilised and weatherproof, suited to external duct runs, catenary suspension or facade mounting; check local mechanical support codes for your installation method.
Does it come with connectors fitted?
No — it's supplied as a 1m cut length from reel for field termination with your own RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or patch panels.
What conduit or gland size does it fit?
The cable measures roughly 6.2–6.8mm overall diameter, suiting 20–25mm conduit and IP67-rated outdoor RJ45 glands.
