Product Description
A 15m CAT6 RJ45 patch lead in black, built for runs where a standard 3m or 5m cable won't reach the cabinet or NVR.
Where this length fits
Fifteen metres covers the gap between a ceiling-mounted IP camera and a comms cabinet on another floor, or a PC in a back office and a router at the front of the premises. It suits retail units, small warehouses and office fit-outs where cameras or workstations sit further from the switch than a standard patch lead can manage.
Why CAT6 for CCTV runs
CAT6 is engineered for higher-speed data transmission than CAT5e, which matters when a run carries PoE IP camera traffic alongside data — useful headroom on multi-camera installs where several feeds share the same switch. Gold-plated connectors are fitted at both ends for a stable connection.
Practical notes for installers
- Length: 15m — check your actual cable path (including slack for containment and termination) before ordering, as this is a fixed-length lead rather than a cut-to-order run.
- Build: rated for both indoor and outdoor use, so it can be routed externally between a camera and an internal cabinet.
- Compatibility: standard RJ45 termination works with routers, PCs, games consoles and CCTV/NVR equipment alike — no adapters needed.
Order length is the main variable to get right on a job like this; too short and you're back on-site for a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would this cable hold up for outdoor CCTV runs?
Yes, it's rated for both indoor and outdoor use, so it can be routed externally between a camera and an internal cabinet.
Will CAT6 work with older CAT5e equipment?
Yes, the RJ45 termination is standard, so it connects to routers, PCs, consoles and CCTV/NVR gear regardless of whether the other end is CAT5e or CAT6.
Can I cut this cable to a shorter length on site?
No, this is supplied as a fixed 15m terminated lead rather than a cut-to-order run, so check your cable path before ordering.
