Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6APK40 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6APK40 is a Category 6A slim patch cord from the Ascent series, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This patch cord delivers the high-frequency performance required by Cat6a standards, supporting data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The slim-profile design reduces cable bulk in dense patch panel installations, improving airflow and cable management in server rooms, telecom closets, and data centers. Sold as a single unit, it is suited for installation by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals.

The HC6APK40 is well-suited for horizontal and vertical patch field applications in structured cabling systems that conform to TIA-568 Cat6a performance specifications. Its slim form factor makes it particularly useful in high-density environments where standard-diameter patch cords create cable congestion at switch ports or patch panels. This cord is appropriate for both new installations and upgrade projects where bandwidth and signal integrity are priorities.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance tier supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Slim-profile design reduces congestion in high-density patch field installations
• Part of the Ascent series for structured cabling environments
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and switch ports in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 Category 6A requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected jacks, patch panels, and switches are rated for Cat6a before installing. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. No power shutdown is required, but connecting to a live switch port should be done intentionally to avoid unintended network disruption.
