Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6BK20 Cat6 Slim Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6BK20 is a Category 6 slim-profile patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Its reduced-diameter construction allows for higher-density cable management in patch panels, switches, and network enclosures where space and airflow are critical. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals use this cord to terminate horizontal runs, connect patch panels to active equipment, and establish short equipment-bay links. The slim form factor reduces bundle diameter and improves airflow compared to standard Cat6 patch cables.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data closets, server racks, and structured cabling installations where Cat6 performance is required. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations as well as moves, adds, and changes in existing Cat6 cabling plants. Its black jacket aids in color-coded patching schemes used in organized wiring environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. De-energize or power down connected equipment before disturbing active patch fields when possible. Route cords through cable managers or Velcro tie wraps to maintain bend-radius requirements and avoid sharp bends at connectors. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for Cat6 patch cord handling and dressing practices.
