Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AB80 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AB80 is a Cat6a slim patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to the Cat6a standard, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is engineered with a reduced-diameter jacket to ease cable management in high-density patch panels and switch closets. The slim profile allows tighter bend radii and better airflow compared to standard-diameter Cat6a cables. This cord ships individually and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and data center cabling crews.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room connections in structured cabling systems that comply with TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards. It is commonly used to connect patch panels to network switches, or end devices to wall outlets in office, data center, and campus LAN environments. The blue jacket color aids in color-coded port identification and cable tracing on live racks.

Key Features

• Cat6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• Slim jacket design reduces bundle diameter for improved airflow and cable management in dense installations
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded patching schemes
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing
• Designed for use in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 and related standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord for Cat6a structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in commercial and enterprise network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage cabling technicians familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and do not over-bundle with hook-and-loop ties in a way that deforms the jacket. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or in a known state before re-patching in live environments. Route cables through proper management rings or D-rings to maintain dress and serviceability.
