Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AP40 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AP40 is a slim-profile Cat6a patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Part of the Ascent product line, this patch cord delivers Category 6A performance in a reduced-diameter form factor, making it well suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports where standard-diameter cables create airflow and cable management challenges. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this cord as a horizontal or equipment-bay interconnect. The slim design reduces bundle diameter without sacrificing the transmission performance required by Cat6a specifications.

This patch cord is used in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise horizontal cabling runs where Cat6a performance is required. It connects patch panels to active equipment or provides workstation-level drop connections. The slim construction is especially useful in high-density environments where multiple cables are routed through cable managers, raceways, or horizontal wire guides side by side.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Slim-profile jacket reduces cable bundle diameter in high-density installations
• Part of the Hubbell Premise Wiring Ascent product line
• Sold individually as a single unit
• Purple jacket color for easy visual identification and cable tracing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6a patch cord for use with standard 8P8C RJ45 Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switch ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians install Cat6a patch cords in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for termination — the cord uses factory-terminated plugs at both ends. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6a cabling, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that they deform the jacket, as both conditions can degrade transmission performance.
