Product Description
A 5m Cat6 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable for routers, PCs, games consoles and CCTV/NVR installs alike. Both ends terminate in RJ45 Male connectors with gold-plated copper alloy pins in a polycarbonate housing, sized approximately 11.6×22.8×8.3mm (0.46×0.90×0.33in) — worth checking against tight wall-plate or port clearances before ordering.
Build quality supports long-term use indoors and outdoors: a 24AWG copper conductor runs inside a PVC jacket 5.8mm (0.23in) in diameter, rated -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) operating and -20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F) storage. Minimum bend radius is 69mm (2.72in), so allow for that at tight corners in cabinets or wall boxes.
Where it fits on site
Cat.6 spec, backward-compatible with Cat.5e infrastructure — use it as a home network lead, an office PC-to-switch run, a console-to-router connection, or a camera-to-NVR/PoE-switch drop. Unshielded (U/UTP) construction keeps EMI in check for stable data transmission across the full 5m length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable Cat6 or Cat5e?
It's Cat.6 rated at 250MHz, and it is backward-compatible with Cat.5e installs.
What connector type does it use, and will both ends fit standard ports?
Both ends are RJ45 Male connectors, roughly 11.6×22.8×8.3mm, with gold-plated copper alloy pins.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
Yes — its build is suitable for long-term use both indoors and outdoors, rated -10°C to 60°C operating.
Is the cable shielded?
No, it uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, which minimises electromagnetic interference for stable transmission.
