Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AW60 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AW60 is a Category 6A slim patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Part of the Ascent line, this slim-profile cable reduces bulk in high-density patch panel applications where airflow and cable management are critical. Category 6A supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for modern data center, server room, and horizontal cabling runs. The white jacket aids in color-coded identification by zone, floor, or circuit type. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is intended for use in Category 6A structured cabling systems found in commercial office buildings, data centers, education facilities, and healthcare networks. The slim jacket diameter makes it especially well-suited for high-density patch fields where standard-diameter Cat6A cables create airflow restriction or cable management issues. It ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10GbE and 500 MHz bandwidth requirements
• Slim profile reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panel environments
• White jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• Part of the Ascent structured cabling product line
• Sold as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports in TIA-568 compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by registered communications distribution designers (RCDDs), low-voltage technicians, or licensed electricians working under applicable codes including ANSI/TIA-568 and local NEC Chapter 8 requirements. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or in a safe maintenance state before reconfiguring active patch fields. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to prevent performance degradation. Do not use cable ties overtightened around slim-jacket patch cords, as jacket compression can affect transmission performance.
