Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6AY65 Cat6a Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6AY65 is a slim Cat6a patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Sold as a single unit, this yellow-jacketed patch cord meets Cat6a performance standards, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and high-frequency signal transmission. Its slim profile reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments, making it well suited for crowded patch panels and switch ports where airflow and cable management are critical concerns. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers of this type of component.

This patch cord is part of the Hubbell Premise Wiring Ascent series and is intended for use in horizontal and equipment cabling segments within structured cabling systems. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and commercial office wiring projects where Cat6a performance and clean cable routing are required. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in enterprise and mission-critical network environments.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Slim jacket design reduces cable diameter for improved airflow and port density in patch panels
• Yellow jacket color for easy visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Ascent series construction for consistent signal integrity in structured cabling systems
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat6a and Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of Cat6a cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are powered down or ports are inactive before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live production environments. Do not use excessive force when seating the RJ45 connectors, as this can damage port contacts.
