Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AB40 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AB40 is a Category 6A slim patch cord from the Ascent series, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This cord supports high-speed data transmission at Cat6a performance standards, making it suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The slim form factor reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panels and switch ports, improving airflow and cable management. It is finished in blue for easy visual identification in organized installations. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trade audience for this product.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone cabling connections within data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and commercial office installations. The slim jacket profile is especially useful in high-density patching environments where space at the patch panel or switch is limited. It connects structured cabling runs to active network equipment and is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals. Verify that all connected jacks, patch panels, and switch ports are rated for Cat6a to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the slim jacket, as this can degrade insertion loss and return loss performance. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines during routing and dressing.
