Hubbell HCL6AY01 1ft Yellow RJ45 Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell HCL6AY01 is a 1-foot, yellow, Category 6 (CAT6) patch cord designed for reliable network connectivity. Its specific length and color coding are beneficial in high-density environments like server racks or patch panel installations, allowing for clear identification and management of network runs. This cable ensures data integrity for standard Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters, making it suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and workstations.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port found on network switches, routers, servers, computers, and other network-enabled devices. It adheres to TIA/EIA standards for Category 6 cabling, ensuring interoperability with existing CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6a infrastructure. Use it to connect devices within a rack or to bridge short distances between wall plates and equipment.

Installation Notes

The HCL6AY01 features molded strain-relief boots on both RJ45 connectors, which protect the cable from over-bending at the connection point, a common failure point for patch cords. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and segregation of network cabling runs, particularly useful in environments with multiple cable types or colors.
