Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AB20 Cat6a Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AB20 is a Cat6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Cat6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is engineered to reduce alien crosstalk at frequencies up to 500 MHz. This patch cord is sold individually and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, network infrastructure contractors, and licensed electricians performing data cabling work.

The HC6AB20 is suited for use in horizontal and equipment room cabling segments within commercial office buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, and education campuses. It connects network equipment, patch panels, and end devices in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 Cat6A standards. The cord is appropriate for both new installation and upgrade projects moving from Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure to 10G-capable cabling.

Key Features

• Cat6A UTP construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Unshielded twisted pair design simplifies termination and eliminates grounding requirements
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity procurement
• Fits standard RJ45 patch panel ports and network equipment interfaces
• Designed to meet TIA-568 Cat6A performance requirements for alien crosstalk and insertion loss

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure contractors typically install Cat6A patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No power shutdown is required for patch cord installation, but active network ports should be noted and coordinated with the network administrator before disconnecting live links. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as either condition can degrade signal performance.
