Product Description
A 3-metre CAT6 patch lead for wiring IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers or PCs into a network run.
Key specs
- Length: 3m — enough for a short run from a wall outlet to an NVR, switch or PC; measure your actual cable path before ordering
- Standard: Cat6, backward-compatible with Cat5e equipment already on site
- Data rate: 10,000 Mbit/s over 250 MHz — well beyond what a CCTV camera stream requires
- Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), suited to typical home and office runs away from heavy electrical interference
- Connectors: Both ends have a male RJ45 connector, with gold-plated contacts.
- Conductor: 24 AWG stranded copper
- Jacket: low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), black, halogen-free
- Build: kink protection, strain relief, latch protection, snagless boot
Where it fits
On IP CCTV jobs this lead typically connects a camera to a PoE switch or NVR port, or links network gear in a comms cabinet. As a standard copper Cat6 cable it's built to carry both data and power delivery over the same run to PoE-powered devices, so it suits PoE camera and NVR deployments as well as plain data links. The 3m length works well for short jumps between adjacent equipment — for camera runs across a building, plan the full cable path and use bulk cable rated for the distance instead. LSZH jacketing and the snagless boot make it tidy for cabinet and trunking installs where cable management matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable carry power to a PoE CCTV camera?
Yes — it's a standard 24 AWG stranded copper Cat6 cable, which supports Power over Ethernet delivery to PoE-powered cameras and NVR ports alongside the data signal.
Is this cable compatible with Cat5e equipment?
Yes, Cat6 is backward-compatible with Cat5e devices, so it can be used to connect older network kit as well as Cat6-rated equipment.
Is 3m long enough for connecting an NVR to a camera?
It suits short runs between nearby equipment, such as a wall outlet to an NVR or switch; for longer camera runs, measure the full cable path and choose a length or bulk cable to match.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
It uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, which is suited to typical home and office installations away from heavy electrical interference.
