Choose cable and accessories for common low-voltage network installations.
Overview
CCTV, Wi-Fi, access control and office networks all use Ethernet, but the installation environment changes the right cable and accessory choices.
Quick answer
Use CAT6 for most new indoor network points, outdoor UV-rated cable for exposed routes, and suitable PoE equipment for cameras and access points.
Site factors
Check distance, route exposure, bend radius, conduit/trunking needs, PoE load, cabinet layout and whether the cable passes noisy electrical areas.
Common extras
Patch leads, PoE injectors, PoE switches, trunking, conduit, saddles, tape, labels and spare connectors should be planned with the cable.
