Product Description
Key specs
A 10m factory-terminated CAT6 patch cord wired to T568B, built for structured cabling work rather than retail bundling.
- Conductors: 24AWG stranded pure copper, UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Bandwidth: 250MHz, exceeding CAT5e and supporting 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet to the full 100m channel length
- Backward compatible with CAT5e infrastructure for mixed Gigabit/Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) segments
- Connectors: gold-plated RJ45 male both ends, snagless moulded boots to protect the retention clip during repeated patching
- Jacket: black PVC, flexible enough for tight rack-to-switch or patch-panel routing
Where it fits on a job
Use it as a straight-through drop between PoE switch and patch panel, NVR to operator PC, or camera-side patching where a factory-made lead beats field termination. At 10m it will comfortably span most equipment racks to wall outlets or an NVR to a nearby workstation without approaching the 100m CAT6 channel limit — leave headroom in the budget for any additional patch leads in the same run.
Because it's UTP rather than shielded, keep routing away from high-current PSU cabling where practical; CAT6 UTP is generally more resistant to interference than CAT5e but is not immune to it. Straight-through T568B wiring means no crossover cable is needed for switch-to-NVR or PC-to-router connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for PoE switch to camera runs?
Yes — it's a standard UTP CAT6 patch cord supporting Gigabit Ethernet, commonly used for PoE switch to NVR or patch-panel connections within structured cabling systems.
Does it need a crossover version for connecting an NVR to a PC?
No, it's wired straight-through to T568B, so it works directly between switches, NVRs, routers and PCs without needing a crossover cable.
Will it work with existing CAT5e cabling?
Yes, it's backward compatible and will run at Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) speeds on CAT5e segments while supporting full CAT6 Gigabit performance on its own run.
What's the maximum distance before performance drops?
The 24AWG copper construction supports 1000Base-T up to the standard 100m channel length; at 10m this leaves plenty of margin for additional patch leads in the same run.
