Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AY10 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AY10 is a Category 6A slim patch cord from the Ascent line, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This 1-foot cord supports high-density patching applications where standard-diameter cables create airflow and management problems in congested patch panel fields. The slim form factor reduces bundle diameter and improves airflow in rack-mounted installations. The yellow jacket provides color-coded identification for network segmentation or zone labeling. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and vertical patch panel connections in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and server closets. The Category 6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for high-speed backbone and equipment connections. The 1-foot length is commonly used for short equipment-to-patch-panel runs or switch port connections in tight rack environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Category 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for patching, but cable management best practices should be followed to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius. Ensure the destination port matches the Category 6A rating to maintain full channel performance. Do not force RJ45 connectors into ports — verify jack compatibility before seating.
