Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AY01 Cat6a Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AY01 is a Cat6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed structured cabling installations. Cat6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cord a fit for demanding network environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install these cords to connect equipment at patch panels, switches, and wall jacks in horizontal or backbone cabling systems. The HC6AY01 is sold individually as a single unit.

This patch cord is suited for both commercial and residential structured cabling applications where Cat6A performance is required. Typical use cases include data center patch fields, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise horizontal runs terminating at workstations or access points. It is appropriate wherever IEEE 802.3an 10GBase-T connectivity is specified or where headroom beyond Cat6 is needed to meet current or anticipated bandwidth demands.

Key Features

• Cat6A UTP construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Unshielded twisted pair design simplifies installation without bonding or grounding requirements
• Sold as a single unit for flexible ordering quantities
• Compatible with standard Cat6A keystone jacks and patch panel ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Cat6A UTP structured cabling systems terminating at standard RJ45 ports on patch panels, network switches, and Cat6A wall jacks.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians should install this cord in accordance with TIA-568 standards for Cat6A channel and permanent link requirements. De-energize connected equipment at the switch or patch panel port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords where live-work policies require it. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6A cable, and do not cinch cable ties tightly against the jacket, as either condition can degrade insertion loss and return loss performance.
