Product Description
RJ45 CAT6 U/UTP Outdoor Ethernet Cable — 1m Reel, Black, 23AWG
This is CAT6 U/UTP outdoor cable sold as a 1m cut length, so installers can run and terminate exactly the length a job needs rather than working around a fixed lead.
Where it fits on a job
It suits the run between an outdoor IP camera, PTZ or access point and the nearest switch/NVR — particularly where that run passes through external duct, along a facade, or as an overhead catenary span. The black PE/LDPE jacket is UV-stabilised, so it's built for genuine external exposure rather than indoor cable pressed outside.
Key specs
- 23AWG solid bare copper conductors — thicker than the 24–26AWG found in many budget cables, helping preserve PoE power budget and signal quality over longer external runs
- Built with 4 U/UTP pairs, surpassing the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standard.
- 10GBase-T supported up to 55m; 550MHz bandwidth rating
- Rated for IEEE 802.3bt PoE, useful for PoE++ powered cameras and APs
- Supplied cut from reel for field termination with RJ45 plugs, keystones or patch panels
Typical pairing
Commonly specified alongside PoE switches, NVRs and outdoor-rated RJ45 glands or IP66/67 connectors as part of a structured backbone for IP CCTV, access control or wireless AP deployments across retail, warehouse, office or residential-block sites. Confirm conduit and gland sizing against your chosen connector before ordering in bulk lengths.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this CAT6 cable rated for outdoors?
It has a black PE/LDPE UV-stabilised jacket suitable for external duct, catenary or facade installation.
Can it deliver PoE power to cameras and access points?
Yes, it is rated for IEEE 802.3bt PoE, which covers PoE++ powered devices such as outdoor cameras and wireless APs.
What length does it come in?
It is supplied as a 1m cut length from the reel, ready for custom termination with RJ45 plugs or panel connections.
How does 23AWG compare to thinner cable for long runs?
23AWG conductors are thicker than the 24-26AWG used in many cheaper cables, which generally helps preserve PoE power and signal quality over longer runs.
