Hubbell Premise Wiring HC6RPW Cat6 Plenum Utp Cable

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HC6RPW is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable rated for plenum-space installation. Designed to meet the air-handling and fire-safety requirements of plenum environments, this cable carries high-speed data signals through ceilings, raised floors, and other HVAC air-return spaces where low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket materials are required. It is sold and pulled by the unit and is a standard choice for structured cabling installers, low-voltage technicians, and licensed electricians working in commercial and institutional buildings.

The HC6RPW is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, schools, hospitals, and other facilities where building codes require plenum-rated cabling. Its Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications across structured cabling infrastructures. Low-voltage installers typically deploy this cable in new construction and retrofit projects where open plenum ceilings or raised-floor return-air spaces are present.

Key Features

• Category 6 UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet performance standards
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Unshielded twisted pair design simplifies termination at patch panels and keystone jacks
• Sold by the unit for straightforward job-site quantity management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution for Cat6 plenum horizontal runs terminating to standard Cat6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and modular plugs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local building codes governing communications wiring in plenum spaces. De-energize any circuits in the work area before routing cable through conduit or open plenum paths. Avoid sharp bend radii that can degrade pair geometry and signal integrity. Verify plenum rating compliance with the authority having jurisdiction before pulling cable in air-handling spaces.
