Dahua PFM922-6UN is available at Mascom International for KSh 9,000, a full 305m roll of outdoor CAT6 U/UTP network cable, brand new and sealed. The model number is DH-PFM922-6UN. Its conductor is copper-clad aluminium with 30% copper, drawn to 23AWG and wrapped in a black polyethylene jacket made for open-air runs. Each roll carries four colour-coded twisted pairs, eight cores in total, ready for standard RJ45 termination. You can collect the Dahua PFM922-6UN from our store at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Built for CCTV installers, electricians and small IT teams across Kenya, the Dahua PFM922-6UN handles the long runs that link cameras, access points and routers around a compound. A common problem on Kenyan sites is indoor cable laid outside, where sun and rain wear down the sheath long before the job should need redoing. This roll answers that with an outer sheath Dahua describes as partially water resistant and an operating range of –20 °C to +60 °C. The Dahua PFM922-6UN suits gate cameras, warehouse perimeters in Industrial Area and rooftop links between office blocks in Westlands.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded CAT6 boxes with no clear copper content, Mascom International states the conductor plainly: copper-clad aluminium with 30% copper. That honesty matters when you price a job, because the Dahua PFM922-6UN sits at KSh 9,000 against KSh 18,000 for the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable. Installers across Nairobi tell us this roll covers most home and small-office camera jobs at a cost their clients accept. Visit the Kimathi Street store to inspect the jacket, or message us on WhatsApp for delivery to your site.
Common Questions About the Dahua PFM922-6UN
How much is the Dahua PFM922-6UN 305m outdoor cable in Kenya?
The Dahua PFM922-6UN costs KSh 9,000 for a full 305m roll at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price covers the whole box, a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It matches the KSh 9,000 price of the indoor Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C, so the choice between those two rolls depends on where the cable runs, not on budget. The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable costs KSh 18,000, which is KSh 9,000 more per roll.
Can I use the Dahua PFM922-6UN indoors, or should I buy the indoor Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C?
Pick the Dahua PFM922-6UN for any run that leaves the building, and the Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C for runs that stay inside. Both rolls cost KSh 9,000, both are CAT6 U/UTP and both use 30% copper conductors. The difference is the jacket: the outdoor roll has a black polyethylene sheath built to face sun and rain. The indoor roll is made for ceilings, trunking and office walls. If one job mixes both, many installers buy one roll of each rather than forcing a single cable to do everything.
Will the Dahua PFM922-6UN hold up in Kenyan rain and sun on an outdoor run?
The Dahua PFM922-6UN is rated to operate from –20 °C to +60 °C, which covers hot rooftops and cold highland nights in Kenya. Dahua describes its polyethylene sheath as partially water resistant, so it handles rain on walls, fences and poles through the long rains. Partial resistance is not the same as waterproof, though. For trenches, low ground that floods or runs under a driveway, pull the cable through conduit. Install it between 0 °C and +50 °C, which suits almost any working day here.
Does the Dahua PFM922-6UN support PoE cameras and access points?
Yes, Dahua lists the Dahua PFM922-6UN as compatible with Power over Ethernet, so one cable carries both data and power to a camera. That matters during KPLC power cuts, because a single UPS at the PoE switch or NVR keeps every camera on the line running. Copper-clad aluminium has higher electrical resistance than pure copper, so it loses more power over distance. For short and medium runs to fixed cameras it serves well. For long runs or high-draw PTZ cameras, choose a pure copper roll instead.
How many camera runs can one Dahua PFM922-6UN roll cover?
One Dahua PFM922-6UN roll holds 305m of cable, give or take 2m, so the answer depends on your average run length. If each camera sits about 20m from the NVR, one roll covers roughly 15 runs. At about 30m per run, expect around 10. Leave a little slack at each end for termination and future repairs. Measure your longest run before you buy, since it often decides whether one roll is enough for a home, shop or small warehouse.
What connectors and tools do I need to terminate the Dahua PFM922-6UN?
You need CAT6 RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks, a crimping tool and a basic cable tester to finish the Dahua PFM922-6UN. The conductor measures 23AWG, about 0.57mm, so check that your plugs are rated for 23AWG wire before you crimp. Undersized plugs can leave loose pins and intermittent faults. The eight cores follow the standard blue, orange, green and brown colour pairs, so either the T568A or T568B wiring scheme works. Use the same scheme at both ends of each run.
Is the Dahua PFM922-6UN good for linking a Safaricom Home Fibre router to outbuildings?
The Dahua PFM922-6UN works well for carrying a Safaricom, Airtel or Zuku fibre connection from the main house to a gatehouse, staff quarters or a separate office. A wired run to a second access point gives a steadier signal than relying on Wi-Fi through thick stone walls. Because the jacket is made for outdoor exposure, you can run it along an exterior wall or fence line between buildings. Keep it away from mains power cables to reduce electrical interference on the data line.
Who should buy the Dahua PFM922-6UN and who should skip it?
The Dahua PFM922-6UN suits installers and homeowners wiring outdoor cameras, gate intercoms and access points on short to medium runs at a fair price. It fits budget-conscious jobs where the client wants a named brand rather than an unbranded box. Skip it if your cable stays entirely indoors, where the Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C fits better. Skip it too for long PoE runs, high-draw cameras or contracts that specify pure copper, where the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable is the right roll.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Cable Type
- CAT6 category cable — the class of network cable used for gigabit office networks, IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points.
- U/UTP construction — unshielded twisted pairs with no foil layer, so the cable stays lighter, cheaper and quicker to terminate.
- Four twisted pairs, eight cores — the twisting cancels interference between wires and keeps the data signal clean along the run.
- Power over Ethernet compatible — one cable carries both data and power to a PoE camera, phone or access point.
- 305m ± 2m per roll — the standard box length, enough for many camera drops or several long links from one purchase.
- Copper-clad aluminium conductor with 30% copper — an aluminium core plated with copper, which keeps the price and weight down.
Compatibility and Termination
- Standard RJ45 plugs and keystone jacks — terminates with the same CAT6 connectors installers already carry in their kit.
- Works with any IP camera, NVR, switch or router that has an Ethernet port, whatever the brand on the device.
- Colour-coded pairs in blue, orange, green and brown — supports both the T568A and T568B wiring schemes.
- PoE switches and NVRs with built-in PoE ports — power reaches each camera without a separate adapter at every pole.
- 23AWG conductor of 0.57mm — check that plugs are rated for 23AWG CAT6 so every pin seats firmly when crimped.
- Copper-clad aluminium has more resistance than pure copper — fine for shorter runs, less suited to long or high-power PoE links.
Build and Weather Resistance
- Black MDPE outer jacket, 6.6mm across — a medium-density polyethylene sheath made to face sun and open air.
- Partial water resistance — handles rain on walls, fences and poles; use conduit for trenches or ground that floods.
- HDPE insulation of 1.03mm on each core — a tough plastic coating that keeps the pairs separated and correctly spaced.
- Operating range of –20 °C to +60 °C — covers hot iron rooftops by day and cold highland nights after dark.
- Installation range of 0 °C to +50 °C — pull and bend the cable within this range to avoid cracking the jacket.
- RoHS compliant — made without the restricted hazardous substances listed under that European safety directive.
Inclusions and Handling
- One continuous 305m roll in its carton — a single length, so you cut each run to size with no joins.
- Net weight of 8kg ± 0.6kg — light enough for one technician to carry up a ladder or onto a roof.
- Carton measures 436 × 436 × 236mm — fits on a boda boda carrier or in a small car boot for site delivery.
- Store between –10 °C and +40 °C below 60% humidity — keep spare rolls in a dry store, not a damp container.
- Made to Dahua standard Q/DXJ 067-2024 — the manufacturer's own production specification for this cable.
Package Contents
The Dahua PFM922-6UN arrives as one sealed carton holding a single continuous 305m roll of black outdoor CAT6 cable. The carton lets you pull cable out as you work without the roll tangling on site. RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks, boots, crimping tools and testers are not part of the box; buy them separately to suit the number of runs you plan. Check the carton label against the model number DH-PFM922-6UN when it arrives.
