On the job
At 3m this lead suits short camera-to-NVR runs, patch panel drops, or connecting a PoE switch to a recorder in the same cabinet. The 24AWG copper conductors and 250MHz-rated Cat.6 spec give headroom for gigabit throughput on CCTV network segments, provided the full channel (patch cords plus permanent link) is also Cat.6-rated.
Unshielded (U/UTP) construction means no drain wire or foil screen — fine for clean cabinet runs, but if this lead is routed near high-EMI sources (large transformers, motor cabling) a shielded (U/FTP or F/UTP) alternative would be the better call.
Gold-plated pins on copper alloy contacts resist oxidation at the connection point, which matters where leads get reseated during commissioning or fault-finding on a live site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable shielded?
No — it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, so keep runs away from heavy EMI sources where possible.
What bandwidth does it support?
It's rated for 250MHz, with nominal attenuation of 32.8dB/100m at that frequency.
What's the minimum bend radius?
69mm — keep bends gentler than this to avoid degrading the twisted-pair performance.
What conductor gauge is used?
24AWG copper conductors with gold-plated copper alloy pins at the RJ45 connectors.
