Product Description
A 5m Cat6 U/UTP patch cable for linking network video recorders, PoE switches, and IP cameras where the run needs to clear a rack, cross a room, or reach a wall-mounted enclosure. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and copper alloy pins sit inside a polycarbonate housing, with a 24AWG copper conductor and PVC jacket rated for -10°C to 60°C operation.
Where it fits on site
Use it as a short internal jump lead: NVR to switch, switch to patch panel, or camera drop to a nearby wall port. At 5m it suits equipment cabinets, single-room offices, and residential distribution boards rather than long external camera runs, where multiple lengths or a bulk reel would be the better spec.
Key specs
- Length: 5m (16.44ft), Black
- Category: Cat.6, backward-compatible with Cat.5e installs
- Wiring: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Bandwidth: 250MHz, 32.8dB/100m attenuation @250MHz

Procurement note
Because it's unshielded, keep runs away from heavy electrical interference sources on site — mains cabling, motors, fluorescent ballasts — and route shielded cable instead where that's unavoidable. Storage temperature range is -20°C to 75°C, useful to know for van stock or site containers left overnight.

Is this cable shielded?
No, it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, so keep runs clear of major electrical interference sources.
Will it work with Cat5e equipment?
Yes, the cable is listed as CAT6/CAT5e compatible, so it will connect to Cat5e ports and devices.
What's the maximum bandwidth it supports?
It's rated for 250MHz, with a nominal attenuation of 32.8dB per 100m at that frequency.
What temperature range can it be used or stored in?
Operating range is -10°C to 60°C, and storage range is -20°C to 75°C.
