What kind of LAN cable can I use to supply power to i-PRO cameras with PoE switch?

Use 4 pair UTP / STP LAN cable (category-5e or later)

There are two kinds of LAN cables; UTP and STP.

UTP is called “twisted pair cable” (4 pairs - paired with 2 wires) and it is used for home and office buildings.

STP is used for a special environment such as a factory and laboratory.

Category-5e is a standard for UTP cable called “enhanced category 5” and it prescribes 1000BASE-T Ethernet and 1 Gbps.
