Product Description
23AWG solid bare copper CAT6 U/UTP, supplied as a 1m cut length from reel for installers who need to terminate an exact run rather than work around a fixed lead.
Why 23AWG matters on external runs
Thicker than the 24–26AWG conductors found in many budget cables, 23AWG gauge reduces insertion loss and resistance, helping preserve PoE power budget over longer external runs between a network cabinet and field-mounted IP cameras or outdoor access points.
Key specs
- 4-pair U/UTP construction, exceeding ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6
- 23AWG solid bare copper conductors
- 10GBase-T supported to 55m; 1GBase-T to 100m
- 550MHz bandwidth rating
- Rated for IEEE 802.3bt PoE delivery over extended runs
- Black PE/LDPE UV-stabilised jacket for duct, facade or catenary installation
- Sequential metre marking for run-length documentation during certification
Where it's used
Suited to backbone links feeding IP CCTV cameras, outdoor wireless access points, access control readers and structured cabling installations where PoE switches and NVRs sit at the cabinet end. Approximate 6.0–6.5mm overall diameter fits standard 20mm conduit and outdoor-rated RJ45 glands.
Supplied uncut on a reel and cut to the 1m length ordered, ready for termination with RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or IDC patch panels — no cable, no connectors included beyond the cable itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conductor gauge does this cable use?
23AWG solid bare copper, thicker than the 24-26AWG found in many budget CAT6 cables.
Is this cable rated for outdoor installation?
Yes, it has a black PE/LDPE UV-stabilised jacket suitable for external duct, catenary or facade installation.
What length is supplied?
It's cut to a 1m length from a reel, supplied uncut for custom termination with RJ45 plugs or panel connections.
Does it support PoE for cameras and access points?
The cable is rated to support IEEE 802.3bt PoE delivery over extended external runs.
