Hubbell Premise Wiring HCL6BK10 Cat6a Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HCL6BK10 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord featuring a low outside-diameter jacket. Cat6A cabling supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable choice for high-density structured cabling installations. The reduced jacket diameter allows tighter bend radii and improved airflow in congested cable trays, patch panels, and equipment racks. This cord is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals working in commercial, enterprise, and data center environments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal or equipment-side connections in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat6A standards. Typical applications include server room patch panels, switch ports, and workstation connections where 10GBase-T performance is required. The low-OD construction is especially practical in high-density patch fields where cable management and airflow are critical concerns. It ships as a single unit and is ready for field use without additional termination work.

Key Features

• Category 6A UTP construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• Low outside-diameter jacket improves routing in congested trays and high-density patch panels
• Unshielded design simplifies installation without grounding requirements
• Pre-terminated cord requires no field termination, reducing installation time
• Black jacket for color-coded cable management practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat6A structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and switch interfaces are rated for Cat6A before deployment. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the jacket to maintain signal integrity. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware.
