Product Description
A 4m Cat6 patch lead for linking IP cameras, NVRs, switches and network points where the run is short and fixed lengths matter. Cat6 U/UTP construction with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors supports high-speed data transmission, and the LSZH jacket suits installations where cable is run through trunking or risers in occupied buildings such as offices and residential blocks.
Where it fits on a job
On a typical CCTV install, patch leads like this connect a PoE switch to an NVR, or bridge a faceplate to a recorder in a comms cabinet — anywhere a rigid structured-cabling run ends and a short flexible connection is needed. The 4m length covers rack-to-wall or desk-to-wall distances without slack to manage, which matters in tidy retail counters, server cupboards and office comms rooms.
Key specs
- Cable standard: Cat6, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Length: 4m
- Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, male/male, with snagless boots
- Conductor: stranded copper, 24 AWG
- Jacket: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
- Colour: white
Snagless boots protect the retention clip when pulling the lead through second-fix containment, which reduces damaged connectors on site. LSZH jacketing is worth specifying wherever local building regulations call for low-smoke cabling.
Buying for a project
Stock several lengths alongside this 4m lead if the job mixes cabinet patching with longer camera runs — a Cat6 patch lead is only one part of a structured cabling plan, not a substitute for permanent horizontal cabling.
