Hubbell Premise Wiring HCL6R05 Cat6 Low Od Patch Cord

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HCL6R05 is a Category 6 low-OD patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Its reduced outer diameter makes it well-suited for high-density patching environments where cable management and airflow are concerns. This patch cord is designed to deliver reliable data transmission performance in structured cabling systems and is typically installed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals. The slimmer profile compared to standard Cat6 patch cords allows for tighter cable routing without sacrificing the performance headroom that Cat6 infrastructure demands.

This patch cord is used in commercial and residential structured cabling installations, including server rooms, telecommunications closets, data centers, and office network environments. It connects equipment to patch panels or network switches in horizontal and equipment cabling runs. The low-OD construction is particularly practical in patch panels with dense port layouts where standard-diameter patch cords create congestion.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond
• 28 AWG conductor size enables reduced outer diameter for high-density applications
• Low-OD design improves airflow and cable management in dense patch environments
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment patch cord for Cat6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in commercial and residential network installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians typically install Cat6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. No special tools are required for installation, but proper cable management practices should be followed to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Always power down connected equipment before swapping patch cords in live production environments when possible.
