Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 18,000 for a 305m roll, brand new and sealed. Every conductor is 99.99% copper rather than copper-plated aluminium, and the four twisted pairs sit inside a jacket made for outdoor runs. It is CAT6 U/UTP, the unshielded category used for gigabit networks and IP cameras. At KSh 18,000, the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable works out to about KSh 59 per metre. Collect it from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order delivery.
Built for CCTV contractors, network engineers and facility managers across Kenya, the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable handles the runs where a cheaper conductor starts to struggle. Long links to perimeter cameras on a Nakuru farm, PTZ cameras on a Mombasa warehouse and access points across a hotel compound all draw power down the same line. Copper-clad aluminium loses more of that power along the way, so distant devices may reboot or drop out. The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable gives those links a solid copper path from end to end.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops label any CAT6 box as copper, Mascom International separates the rolls plainly. The Dahua PFM922-6UN and Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C both cost KSh 9,000 and carry 30% copper. The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable costs KSh 9,000 more and carries 99.99%. Engineers across Nairobi tell us they choose pure copper when a site must run for years without callbacks, especially on PoE camera systems backed by a UPS.

Common Questions About the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable
How much is the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable 305m in Kenya?
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable costs KSh 18,000 for a 305m roll at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties. It sits KSh 9,000 above the outdoor Dahua PFM922-6UN, which uses copper-clad aluminium with 30% copper. Per metre, that is roughly KSh 59 against about KSh 30, a gap that matters most on large sites with many long runs.
Is pure copper CAT6 really better than the 30% copper Dahua PFM922-6UN?
Pure copper conducts electricity with less resistance than copper-clad aluminium, so the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable loses less power and signal over each run. For PoE cameras, that means more of the switch's power reaches the far end, which helps on longer links and higher-draw PTZ cameras. Copper also tolerates repeated bending and re-termination better, where aluminium cores can snap or loosen in plugs over time. For short runs to small fixed cameras, the Dahua PFM922-6UN does the job at half the price.
How far can I run PoE cameras on the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable?
Every CAT6 cable, including the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable, works within Ethernet's standard limit of 100 metres per link. What pure copper changes is how much of the PoE power survives that distance, not the limit itself. Near the top of that range, copper keeps more voltage at the camera than a copper-clad roll would. Your PoE switch or NVR also sets its own power budget, so check the camera's power draw against that before planning the longest runs.
Will the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable survive Kenyan rain, sun and dust?
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable has an outdoor jacket made for runs along walls, fences and poles exposed to the weather. That suits Nairobi's long rains, dusty dry seasons in Machakos and the humid coastal air of Mombasa. Copper also resists the corrosion that can creep into aluminium cores at connector ends in damp places. Even so, run it through conduit for trenches, under driveways or anywhere water collects. Seal outdoor junction boxes so rain does not sit on the RJ45 plugs.
Does the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable help when KPLC power goes off?
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable lets one UPS at the PoE switch keep every connected camera running through a KPLC outage. Because each camera draws power down the cable, nothing at the camera end needs its own backup. Pure copper wastes less of that stored power as heat along the line. That gives the UPS slightly more useful runtime and keeps far cameras stable. For estates, banks and petrol stations that record through blackouts, this is the main reason to choose copper.
Can the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable carry gigabit internet between buildings?
Yes, the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable is CAT6, the category built for gigabit Ethernet between switches, routers and access points. It suits links from a main office to a warehouse, or from a Safaricom or Airtel fibre router to a second building on a school campus. Pure copper keeps those links stable at the far end of long runs. Keep the cable apart from mains power lines where possible, since an unshielded cable can pick up electrical noise running alongside them.
Which tools and connectors work with the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable?
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable terminates with standard CAT6 RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks and a normal crimping tool. Solid copper cores seat firmly in the pins and hold their grip when a plug is redone. The four pairs follow the usual blue, orange, green and brown colour code for T568A or T568B wiring. Test each run with a cable tester before mounting the camera, since a fault found on the ladder costs far less than one found after handover.
Who should buy the Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable and who should skip it?
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable is for installers and businesses running long outdoor PoE links, PTZ cameras, or sites that must stay up for years. Tenders that specify pure copper also point straight to this roll. Skip it for short home camera drops near the NVR, where the Dahua PFM922-6UN saves KSh 9,000. Skip it too when every run stays indoors on a tight budget; the Dahua PFM922I-6UN-C covers that job.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Conductor
- 99.99% copper conductor — solid copper throughout, with no aluminium core inside each wire.
- Lower electrical resistance than copper-clad aluminium — more power and a cleaner signal reach the device at the far end.
- CAT6 category — the standard class for gigabit Ethernet, IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points in offices and homes.
- U/UTP construction — unshielded twisted pairs with no foil, so the cable is lighter and quicker to terminate.
- Four twisted pairs, eight cores — the twisting cancels interference between neighbouring wires along the run.
Power over Ethernet and Distance
- Suited to Power over Ethernet — one cable carries data and power from a PoE switch or NVR to each camera.
- Less power lost along each run — helps PTZ cameras, access points and other higher-draw devices stay stable.
- Works within Ethernet's 100-metre link limit — copper keeps more voltage at the device near the top of that range.
- Pairs well with a UPS at the switch — a single backup keeps every PoE camera recording through a power cut.
- Steady gigabit links between buildings — suits campus, hotel, farm and warehouse sites with spread-out structures.
Compatibility and Termination
- Standard CAT6 RJ45 plugs and keystone jacks — no special connectors needed, whatever brand of camera or switch.
- Colour-coded pairs in blue, orange, green and brown — follows the usual T568A or T568B wiring order.
- Solid copper cores hold firm in plug pins — less risk of loose contacts when a connector is redone.
- Works with any brand of IP camera, NVR, switch or router — not limited to Dahua equipment on the network.
- Less prone to corrosion at the terminations — copper ends stay cleaner in humid coastal and lakeside air.
Build and Inclusions
- Outdoor-grade jacket — made for runs along exterior walls, fences and poles exposed to sun and rain.
- Copper tolerates repeated bending better than aluminium — fewer snapped cores when cable is pulled around corners.
- One continuous 305m roll — cut each run to length with no joins to weaken the signal.
- About KSh 59 per metre at the KSh 18,000 roll price — useful for costing a job before you quote it.
- Jacket colour may vary between batches — confirm the colour on the shelf over WhatsApp before you order.
Package Contents
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable comes as one sealed carton holding a single 305m roll of outdoor CAT6 cable, which feeds out of the box as you pull. Connectors, boots, faceplates, conduit and termination tools are not part of the box; buy them to match your number of runs. Because the roll is heavier than a copper-clad one of the same length, plan how it gets onto a roof or ladder.
Warranty
The Dahua Pure Copper Outdoor CAT6 Cable ships with a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Bring the cable and proof of purchase to our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street, and our staff will handle the claim with you in person.
