Hubbell HC6Y25SP Shielded Patch Cable

Overview

The Hubbell HC6Y25SP is a 25-foot Category 6a shielded patch cable designed to deliver robust and reliable network connectivity in demanding environments. Its construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining data integrity in surveillance systems where dropped frames or corrupted data can compromise security footage. This cable is suitable for installations requiring a direct, high-performance link between network devices like cameras, switches, or NVRs, particularly where proximity to power cables or other sources of interference exists.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any standard network device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port, including but not limited to: Hubbell's own line of IP cameras and network switches, as well as equipment from other manufacturers that adhere to Ethernet standards. It is specifically engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds over its 25-foot length, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications common in modern IP surveillance deployments.

Installation Notes

The HC6Y25SP features snagless RJ45 connectors that protect the locking tab during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The shielding on this cable requires proper grounding at both ends to be effective; ensure it is connected to grounded ports on your network equipment or patch panels. For optimal performance and to maintain the integrity of the shield, avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius, which is typically 4 times the cable diameter for Cat6a.
