Product Description
A 5m Cat6 patch lead with RJ45 connectors at each end, terminated in blue jacketing for easy identification in a rack or containment run.
Cat6 vs Ethernet Cable: Speed & Performance Explained
Cat6 is a cable classification, not a separate protocol — it runs standard Ethernet over RJ45 connectors, with the category rating determining the transmission performance the run supports. On an install this length matters as much as category: 5m is enough to patch a switch to a wall plate, link a camera to a local PoE injector, or drop from a cabinet to a nearby NVR without slack management becoming an issue.
Where it fits on a job
- Length: 5m fixed — suited to short patch runs rather than long backbone pulls
- Connectors: RJ45 both ends
- Category: Cat6, for network and data transmission including CCTV camera-to-recorder or camera-to-switch links
- Colour: blue, useful for keeping camera runs visually distinct from data or VoIP cabling in a mixed containment system
For CCTV work, this is a patch lead, not a bulk cable for first-fix pulls — treat it as the finishing cable between a termination point and the device, whether that's a camera, NVR, switch, or PoE injector.
