Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AY20 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord 20ft

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AY20 is a Category 6A slim patch cord from the Ascent series, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. At 20 feet in length, this patch cable delivers high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps over a Cat6a-rated channel. The slim form factor reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in high-density patch panel deployments, making it a practical choice for data center technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors working in congested enclosures or equipment racks.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-side cabling in commercial buildings, server rooms, and telecommunications rooms. It connects patch panels to active switching equipment or end devices in Cat6a-rated structured cabling systems. The 20-foot length covers typical equipment-side runs within racks and across adjacent enclosures. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

Key Features

• Cat6a-rated for 10 Gbps data transmission over copper structured cabling
• Slim jacket design reduces bundle diameter in high-density patch environments
• 20-foot length suits equipment-side and inter-rack runs
• Ascent series construction for consistent insertion and return loss performance
• Sold individually — one patch cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 Category 6A channel requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network installers following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Route patch cords through cable managers to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat6a cable. Do not overtighten cable ties or Velcro straps, as compression can degrade transmission performance on slim-jacket cables. Verify that both termination points are Cat6a-rated to maintain channel compliance.
