The ProLink CAT6 Patch Cord 3m LSZH Yellow (Model: PL-PC-U6-3Y) is a professional Category 6 U/UTP Ethernet patch cord designed for structured cabling systems. It is engineered to connect network equipment with patch panels and telecommunications outlets. The high-visibility yellow LSZH jacket simplifies cable identification in structured cabling installations that use color coding.
By strictly adhering to Category 6, Class E physical layer requirements, this cable maintains a characteristic impedance of 100 ohms and clean signal integrity up to 250 MHz. It operates seamlessly within legacy Cat5e environments, providing reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity while remaining backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure.
