Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AP03 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord 3 Ft

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AP03 is a Category 6A slim patch cord from the Ascent line, designed to terminate structured cabling runs in high-density copper distribution environments. The slim-profile construction reduces cable bulk in tight patch panels and switch ports, improving airflow and cable management in crowded telecom rooms and data closets. At 3 feet in length, it is well suited for short horizontal runs between panel and switch, a common configuration in rack-mounted installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the typical installers for this type of structured cabling accessory.

This patch cord is used in commercial and enterprise network installations where Cat6a performance is required to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The slim jacket diameter makes it particularly practical in high-density patch panels where standard-diameter cords create congestion. It ships in a purple jacket, which aids in color-coded cable identification schemes common in structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10GBase-T applications
• Slim jacket profile reduces congestion in high-density patch panel environments
• Purple jacket color supports color-coded cable plant identification
• 3-foot length suited for short patch bay to switch connections
• Ascent series construction designed for reliable termination and consistent channel performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Cat6a patch panels and Cat6a keystone jack outlets in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install patch cords as part of a structured cabling system following ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Power down active switch ports or follow site change-control procedures before patching live network infrastructure. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket to maintain signal integrity. Do not over-bundle patch cords with hook-and-loop ties in a way that compresses the cable.
