Product Description
The Cat6 Ethernet Network Cable 40m Black RJ45 LAN Patch Lead (SKU RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-40M-B) is a ready-made network cable. Plug one end into each device and it works. There is nothing to crimp or terminate.
What the specs mean for you
- Cat6 (category 6): suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, so it fits local area network (LAN) links between routers, switches and computers.
- 40 metres: reach for equipment that sits far apart, such as across rooms, offices or buildings. Measure the actual route, including corners, before you order.
- Pre-terminated RJ45 connectors on both ends: these are 8P8C (eight-position, eight-contact) plugs, already fitted, so the cable is plug-and-play.
- Black outer jacket: made for indoor installations, and it blends in with most indoor surroundings.
What else you need
- Two devices with Ethernet ports. The cable is compatible with routers, switches, PCs, IP (internet protocol) cameras, NVR (network video recorder) units and gaming consoles.
- Gigabit speeds depend on the devices at both ends also supporting Gigabit Ethernet.
- An indoor route, because the jacket is intended for indoor use.
For CCTV (closed-circuit television), it suits IP camera and NVR network setups. It also works for home and office networks.
