Hubbell HCL6GN30 Cat6 Slim Patch Cord Low Od

Product Description

The Hubbell Premise Wiring HCL6GN30 is a Category 6 patch cord built with a low-outer-diameter slim jacket, designed for structured cabling installations where port density and cable management are critical. This patch cord is used by low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers to terminate horizontal runs at patch panels, switches, and end-user equipment. The slim jacket reduces bundle diameter in high-density enclosures, improving airflow and serviceability without sacrificing Cat6 performance. It ships as a single unit and is suited for both new construction and retrofit network infrastructure projects.

This patch cord is appropriate for commercial and residential structured cabling environments, including server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and desktop connections. Its slim profile is especially practical in high-density patch panels and switch ports where standard-OD cords create congestion. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this type of cord during moves, adds, and changes as well as during initial infrastructure buildouts.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10G short-run applications
• Low-OD slim jacket reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panels and enclosures
• Factory-terminated ends for consistent, reliable connectivity without field termination
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems per TIA-568 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Cat6 and Cat6E patch panel and switch port applications in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panels and switch ports are de-energized or ports are administratively shut down before repatching active links when the network state is sensitive. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cordage to maintain signal integrity. Verify boot and latch alignment before seating the connector fully to prevent intermittent connections.
