Product Description
A 3m Cat6 U/UTP patch lead for the RJ45 links that CCTV and network installs depend on — camera-to-switch runs, PoE recorder uplinks, or office and residential-block patching.
Key specs
- Length: 3m (9.84ft) — enough to cross a rack, cabinet or short containment run without slack.
- Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated copper alloy pins for a stable, low-resistance contact.
- Conductors: 24AWG copper, Cat.6 rated to 250MHz bandwidth, 32.8dB/100m attenuation at 250MHz.
- Jacket: PVC, 5.8mm diameter, blue — useful for colour-coding data runs against other cable types on site.
- Housing: polycarbonate connector boot; minimum bend radius 69mm, so it isn't damaged by tight cabinet routing.
Where it fits
On CCTV jobs this length suits patching an NVR to a switch, linking a rack-mounted PoE injector, or bridging a short gap in a comms cabinet — not a full camera run, which typically needs bulk cable and field-terminated connectors. In office and residential-block installs it works equally well as a desk-to-wall-port or switch-to-patch-panel lead.
Operating conditions
Rated for -10°C to 60°C operation and -20°C to 75°C storage, which covers most indoor comms rooms, cabinets and plant spaces but not unprotected external runs.
It holds certifications for RoHS, REACH, UL and California Proposition 65.

Frequently Asked Questions
What length is this patch lead?
3m (9.84ft) — suited to patching within a rack or cabinet rather than a full point-to-point camera run.
Is this cable shielded?
No, it's a U/UTP construction with no shielding, using 24AWG copper conductors and gold-plated pins.
What bandwidth does it support?
It's rated Cat.6 with a supported bandwidth of 250MHz and attenuation of 32.8dB/100m at that frequency.
Can it be used outdoors?
The operating range is -10°C to 60°C, which suits indoor comms rooms and cabinets rather than unprotected external installation.
