Prolink cat6a orange 5m

Start with the length you need, such as 5 meters for desk‑to‑switch use (example PL-PC-U6-5OR in orange). Then pick a color for quick organization (orange or yellow) since electrical performance is the same. Confirm the jacket is LSZH for safer indoor use, and check the wiring standard: T568B with four pairs. Look at conductor size AWG23/7; these cords are unshielded CAT6, supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz and a maximum voltage rating of 150 VAC. By matching length, color, jacket, and wiring, you’ll get reliable, easy-to-manage connectivity.

LSZH stands for low-smoke zero-halogen, which reduces smoke and toxic gas in the event of a fire. The items in this range specify LSZH jackets, making them safer for confined spaces like offices or dorm rooms. This material pairing, together with four‑pair copper conductors and a 150 VAC rating, supports safe, durable performance across lengths from 0.5 m up to 5 m, ensuring reliable data transmission in everyday networks.

Orange and yellow colors are both functionally identical in this range, offering the same performance and specs. Choose color based on your organization scheme to distinguish between different network runs or zones. For example, you’ll find both PL-PC-U6-5OR (orange) and PL-PC-U6-5Y (yellow) in the lineup, with the same AWG23/7 conductors, four pairs, LSZH jacket, and T568B wiring.

Short lengths (0.5 m or 1 m) are ideal for near‑device connections where minimal slack is needed, such as a PC to a nearby switch. Medium lengths (3 m) cover desk to nearby network gear, while the 5 m option is best for flexible desk layouts or overhead routing without forcing tight bends. All options share the same Cat6 performance, including four pairs and AWG23/7 copper, with an LSZH jacket for safety.

Yes. These are unshielded Cat6 patch cords with RJ45 connectors and T568B wiring, designed for standard network gear. They support frequencies up to 250 MHz and are built with four copper pairs and an AWG23/7 conductor size. The insulation resistance is at least 250 MΩ, with a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC for 1 minute, making them reliable for everyday home or small office networks.

Long bulk cables like 305 m are available in this line for installation projects, but they are not typical desk‑to‑device patch cords. These longer runs (e.g., orange 305 m cables) share the Cat6 standard, including four pairs and copper conductors, but are intended for larger installations where you’ll terminate the cable at outlets or panels rather than using a short patch lead.
