Custom-Length Kenable Cat6 Ethernet Cable | Prepared & Tested

The source model appears in the selector and the table above. Ask us for source-cable identification or available manufacturer specifications before ordering if you need additional reassurance. The photographs show the source reel; you receive a custom finished lead prepared by HawkVision Pro, rather than a full reel or a factory-packaged Kenable patch lead.

HawkVision Pro offers an online selector for genuine Kenable solid copper Cat6 cable in finished 1–30 m lengths. Choose indoor or outdoor, unshielded or foil-shielded, and the quantity for each run. HawkVision Pro cuts, terminates and tests the leads before dispatch, with delivery options for England and the rest of the UK.

Yes. Our custom cable service uses genuine Kenable Cat6 source cable with solid copper conductors. We guarantee that the cable supplied through this selector is full copper, not copper-clad aluminium (CCA). The source model is identified for each option: 001352 indoor U/UTP, 003865 indoor F/UTP, 003923 outdoor U/UTP or 008546 outdoor F/UTP.

A PoE cable carries electrical power as well as video data. For new home and business CCTV installations, our recommended starting point is genuine solid copper Cat6, correctly terminated and matched to the route. Copper conductors, suitable conductor size, sound RJ45 contacts and the correct jacket help provide a dependable power and network connection.

We recommend full-copper Cat6 for new installations with modern high-resolution PoE cameras. However, resolution alone does not make Cat6 mandatory: correctly specified copper Cat5e can support many cameras. Check the camera bitrate, frame rate, compression, network speed, cable length and PoE power requirements. Higher-power PTZ cameras, heaters and demanding cable bundles may call for Cat6A or another manufacturer-specified design.

CCA is aluminium coated with copper; it is not the same as a full-copper conductor. Its higher resistance can increase voltage drop and heating when delivering power. Poor cable or terminations can contribute to camera restarts or unstable connections, particularly when infrared lighting or other loads switch on. We do not use CCA for this service.

A cable does not change a camera's sensor resolution or improve its lens. The purpose of suitable Cat6 cabling is to support reliable data transfer and PoE delivery. Picture quality still depends on the camera, lighting, settings, bitrate, recorder and display. Replacing a faulty cable may resolve connection-related interruptions; it does not turn a lower-resolution camera into a 4K camera.

Choose the outdoor PE-jacket option for exposed outdoor routes. The listed indoor options have PVC jackets. An outdoor jacket does not waterproof an RJ45 joint: use the camera's suitable cable gland or a sealed enclosure. For indoor sections, check the required fire performance rather than assuming outdoor cable is suitable everywhere.

U/UTP is unshielded and suits many ordinary routes. F/UTP has an overall foil screen and may help in electrically noisy environments when installed as a compatible shielded system. Shielding requires suitable connectors and appropriate bonding; it does not automatically increase PoE distance. Keep network cabling appropriately separated from mains wiring.

Yes. We cut the cable to your selected length, fit RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and test it before dispatch. A continuity or wire-map test differs from a Cat6 certification test. If your project requires Fluke certification or a specific report, ask us to confirm the test and documentation before ordering. Source reels, tools and loose plugs shown in illustrative images are not included.

This selector offers finished cables in whole-metre lengths from 1 to 30 m. A conventional Ethernet channel is normally designed for up to 100 m in total, including patch leads, but power, cable specification and installation conditions must also be checked. Do not assume any 100 m cable or joined run will suit every PoE camera. Contact us about longer runs or specialist designs before ordering.

Yes. Add each cable type, length and quantity to your cable list, then review the complete selection before adding it to your basket. We accept online orders throughout England and the rest of the UK. Cables are prepared to order; delivery options and charges are shown at checkout. Contact us first if you have an installation deadline.
