Product Description
The Connectix Cat6 U/UTP Outdoor Network Cable 1m PE Solid Copper Black is a 1 metre Ethernet cable for short network and CCTV connections. Here is what each spec means in practice.
Specs, translated
- Cat6 U/UTP: Category 6, unshielded twisted pair. The pairs are twisted to reduce crosstalk, which is signal bleeding from one pair to another.
- 10/100/1000 Mbps: supports Gigabit Ethernet, up to 1000 Mbps. The switch or recorder at the other end must also support Gigabit to reach that speed.
- Solid copper conductors: consistent electrical performance, and efficient power delivery to PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices.
- PE sheath: a polyethylene outer layer that protects against moisture and environmental exposure. It suits conduit, external walls and underground ducting when properly installed. It also works indoors.
- 1 metre length: suited to devices sitting close to their connection point. Measure the gap before you choose.
What else you need
PoE sends power and data down one cable. To run an IP camera, switch or wireless access point this way, you need a PoE-capable source on the other end.
The cable is compatible with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks and patch panels, so it fits into structured cabling and network cabinets.
Because it is unshielded, it relies on the twisted-pair construction alone to limit interference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable support PoE?
Yes. It supports PoE applications alongside 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, so it suits devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. The PE (polyethylene) sheath suits outdoor routing through conduit, along external walls and in underground ducting when properly installed.
Is this cable shielded?
No. It is U/UTP, unshielded twisted pair, and relies on the twisted-pair construction to reduce crosstalk.
What can it connect to?
It is compatible with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks and patch panels, and suits IP CCTV cameras and switches.
