Hubbell Premise Wiring HCL6B10 Cat6a Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HCL6B10 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cord engineered with a low outer-diameter jacket for high-density structured cabling environments. Cat6A cabling supports data transmission up to 10 Gbps at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it the standard choice for modern enterprise and commercial network infrastructure. The reduced jacket diameter allows installers to route multiple cables in tight conduit, cable trays, and patch panels without sacrificing bend radius or signal performance. This cord is sold individually and is installed by licensed electricians, IT infrastructure technicians, and low-voltage cabling contractors.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and backbone structured cabling installations in commercial, enterprise, and data center environments. The Cat6A rating supports 10GBase-T Ethernet applications and is appropriate for runs terminating at patch panels, network switches, and wall jacks. The low-OD construction is particularly useful in high-density patch fields where cable management space is limited and airflow around equipment must be maintained.

Key Features

• Category 6A UTP construction supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Low outer-diameter jacket improves cable management in high-density installations
• Unshielded twisted-pair design simplifies termination and grounding requirements compared to shielded alternatives
• Sold individually, allowing quantity purchasing to match exact project needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in standard TIA-568 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician familiar with TIA-568 standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment at the relevant port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords to avoid unintended data interruption. Maintain the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6A cabling and avoid sharp kinks that can degrade insertion loss and return loss performance. Verify patch panel and switch port ratings match Cat6A specifications before installation.
