Hubbell HC6RPY Cat 6 Plenum Cable

Overview

The Hubbell HC6RPY is a 1000-foot spool of Category 6 (Cat 6) network cable designed for use in plenum spaces. Its construction supports data transmission up to 550MHz, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for modern IP surveillance systems, data networks, and building automation. The yellow jacket simplifies identification and segregation from other cable types in complex installations. This cable is ideal for new construction or retrofits where plenum-rated cable is mandated for fire safety compliance.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Category 6 or lower standards (Cat 5e, Cat 5). It is suitable for use with IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and any other Ethernet-based equipment requiring reliable data connectivity. Its 550MHz bandwidth rating ensures it can handle high-definition video streams and data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, as per TIA/EIA standards.

Installation Notes

The HC6RPY features a plenum jacket, which is required for installation in air-handling spaces (plenum spaces) in commercial buildings to meet fire codes. The cable is supplied in a 1000 ft REELEX box, designed for smooth, tangle-free pulling during installation. Ensure proper termination with Cat 6 rated connectors and patch panels to maintain signal integrity and achieve rated performance. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to prevent internal conductor damage.
