Product Description
Overview
A 2m Cat6 U/UTP patch lead, RJ45 male to RJ45 male, for short fixed runs in a rack or at the camera end of an install.
Key specs
- Type: Cat.6, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Bandwidth: 250MHz supported
- Attenuation: 32.8dB/100m @250MHz
- Conductor: copper, 24AWG
- Connectors: RJ45 male, gold-plated pins, copper alloy construction, polycarbonate housing
- Jacket: PVC, 5.8mm diameter, white
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm
- Operating temperature: -10°C to 60°C
- Storage temperature: -20°C to 75°C
Fit and application
At 2m this lead is sized for close-coupled connections — NVR to switch, PoE injector to a nearby patch panel, or a short jump within a cabinet — rather than long backbone runs. Because it's U/UTP with no shielding, route it clear of mains cabling and other sources of EMI to keep the link stable at full bandwidth.
Compatibility notes
As a standard Cat.6 patch lead with RJ45 male connectors on both ends, it works with any Cat5e/Cat6-rated network equipment, including PoE switches and NVRs, since the pinout and connector format are shared across generations. Supported bandwidth and attenuation figures are rated per the specs above; actual throughput depends on the connected equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What category of cable is this, shielded or unshielded?
It's U/UTP — unshielded twisted pair — so it should be routed away from heavy electrical cable runs to avoid interference.
What bandwidth and attenuation does this lead support?
It supports 250MHz with a nominal attenuation of 32.8dB per 100m at 250MHz.
What gauge is the conductor?
The conductor is copper at 24AWG.
What's the minimum bend radius for this cable?
The minimum bend radius is 69mm, so avoid tighter folds in cabinets or trunking.
