Product Description
Spec summary
- SKU: RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-10M-BLUE
- Length: 10m fixed — no mid-run joints
- Category standard: Cat6, UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Connectors: RJ45 both ends
- Colour: Blue, for run identification in multi-cable containment
On-site use
A 10m Cat6 patch lead gives enough reach to run camera-to-NVR, switch-to-router, or PoE camera-to-injector links where the endpoints aren't adjacent — typical on jobs spanning a room, a loft void, or a short external run into a cabinet. The UTP build relies on twisted-pair geometry rather than a shield to reduce electromagnetic interference, which is standard practice for internal runs away from heavy electrical plant.
Cat6 vs older category cable
Cat6 is specified for higher-bandwidth, higher-speed data transmission than earlier Cat5/5e cable, making it the sensible default for HD video streaming from IP cameras, large file transfers between NAS and workstation, and links carrying several devices' worth of traffic on one line.
Where it fits on a CCTV job
Use this as a patch lead between an NVR and a PoE switch, between a switch and a wall-mounted camera drop, or as a bench/test lead when commissioning IP cameras before final containment is run. Blue jacketing helps distinguish data runs from other cable colours already in a rack or trunking.
No shielding is specified, so route away from mains cabling and high-EMI plant where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable shielded?
No — it's UTP (unshielded twisted pair), which relies on the twisted cores rather than a shield to reduce interference.
Can this be used to power a PoE camera?
It's a standard Cat6 RJ45 patch lead, the same cable type used for PoE camera-to-NVR and camera-to-switch links, though no separate power rating is specified beyond the Cat6 standard.
Will this work for gigabit network speeds?
Cat6 is specified for higher-bandwidth, higher-speed data transmission than older cable standards, making it suitable for demanding uses such as HD video streaming.
What connector type does it use?
RJ45 connectors are fitted at both ends of the 10m length.
