Helpful answer

Oh, I just saw that you want to run 15m. For PoE, I would recommend a Cat.7 cable like this: Lindy network cable (15m, S/FTP, Cat. 7). You should not have any problems with this.

Cat.5 cables are also more reliable at this length than Cat.6 because their wire cross-section is larger.

Normally

it looks like this.
Cat.5 : AWG24/23 0.205 /0.258 mm²
Cat.6 : AWG26 0,129 mm²
Cat.7: AWG23/22 0.258 /0.326 mm²

The Cat.6 cable may be too narrow.

Hello textile-point

Yes, this cable can be used for a Power of Ethernet connection.
Please note that the IP camera and the switch must support PoE.
If the switch you are using does not have PoE, you could solve this with a PoE injector like this: TP-LINK PoE Injector TL-POE150S (PoE Injector).
