Product Description
2m black Cat.6 RJ45 patch cable, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, terminated male-to-male with gold-plated copper alloy pins in polycarbonate housings.
What the specs mean on site
- Cat.6, 250MHz supported bandwidth: rated for high-speed data transmission, so it suits video streaming, gaming, and general network traffic without the link being the bottleneck.
- U/UTP build: no shield or drain wire to earth. That keeps termination and rack dressing simple, but it also means the cable relies on the twisted-pair layout alone to resist electromagnetic interference.
- 24AWG copper conductors, PVC jacket, 5.8mm diameter: a standard patch-lead gauge and jacket, not a thick outdoor-grade cable.
- Minimum bend radius 69mm: keep loops gentler than this at patch panels and camera backboxes to avoid stressing the pairs.
- Operating range -10°C to 60°C: fine for indoor cabinets and most loft or garage runs; check housing conditions before relying on it in colder plant rooms.
Where it fits on a job
At 2m, this is a short jumper: router to switch, NVR (network video recorder) to a nearby camera drop, or a PC/PS4 uplink. Listed as backward-compatible with Cat.5e, so it drops into an existing Cat.5e run without a media converter. It has no shielding, so for longer external CCTV runs near power cabling, plan pairing with shielded cable or extra separation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable shielded?
No. It is U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, so there is no drain wire or foil shield.
Will it work with existing Cat.5e cabling?
Yes, the listing states it is backward-compatible with Cat.5e infrastructure.
What bend radius should I keep when routing it?
Keep loops no tighter than the 69mm minimum bend radius specified for this cable.
Can I use this outdoors for a CCTV camera run?
The operating temperature range is -10°C to 60°C, and it has no shielding, so check conditions before an exposed outdoor run.
