Best Cat.6 cable to use for Home Network and CCTV

[UMSTER]

Hi All,

New this this forum, so please forgive me for any errors.

Looking for a good quality Cat.6 tried and tested cable 305m reel.

This cable will be used to network the whole house as well as CCTV 8 to 10 ip camera system.

Looking to run 4 pairs to each bedroom (4 bed house) and 4 pairs to each room down stairs (3 rooms)

Would also like opion on where to install the Network Data rack.

Options are garage or utility room which is central to the house.

Appreciate your time and help.

Thank you for your Reply,

As there are so many different types of cable out there, I was wondering which is a good brand and specification to go for?

The utility room would be central, however would the noise of the fans effect the living room area? Question would be how loud would the fans be?

Switch and nvr would have fans

how loud it is depends on what equipment u got

some network switches are fanless so look out for them.

I'm looking to use Draytek switches which have two small fans inside and also a Hikvision NVR 16ch. Which also has fans inside

If you’re after a brand then Excel is a safe bet.

You’d usually be looking for Cat6 UTP solid core. If you need to run cables externally buy external grade cable as needed.

Many thanks for your help and reply.

I will google that brand.

Another brand that someone mentioned was Draka? Any good? Same solid copper
