Description

Hubbell HCL6ABK20 Cat 6A Slim Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell HCL6ABK20 is a 20-foot, black Cat 6A patch cord designed for high-density network environments where space is at a premium. Its slim, low-OD (Outer Diameter) construction facilitates easier routing and management in crowded racks, reducing installation complexity and improving airflow. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices in data centers, enterprise offices, and telecommunications rooms where reliable Category 6A performance is required.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45-terminated network equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling runs within its specified length. It is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6 networks, though performance will be limited to the capabilities of the lower-rated cable.

Installation Notes

The HCL6ABK20 features a snagless boot design to protect the RJ45 connector tab during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The slim profile allows for tighter bend radii than standard Cat 6A cables, enabling more efficient cable management in high-density patch panel configurations. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve optimal performance and link integrity.
