Hubbell Incorporated HC6B15 Patch Cord Cat 6 Clear Boot Blue 15 ft

15 ft Category 6 Patch Cord

This 15 ft Category 6 patch cord uses 24 AWG conductors in a round PVC jacket and terminates in RJ45 plugs with clear boots at both ends. It is rated for 10 GBps transmission speed and meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and ISO 11801/60603-7-41 standards. The blue cable carries a CM fire rating for commercial installations and is EU RoHS compliant. It suits voice and data runs in office or home networks.

Installing the cord and common issues

The RJ45 plugs snap into standard keystone jacks, patch panels and network ports without tools. A clear boot protects the latch but can catch on adjacent cables in dense panels, so route with slack. The .2 in diameter is stiff enough to hold shape but may resist tight bends behind furniture. Unshielded construction means it should be kept away from fluorescent ballasts and power cables to avoid interference.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that your wall plates, patch panels and switches accept standard RJ45 connectors and that a 15 ft run reaches between devices without tension. Confirm the environment is rated for CM cable and does not require plenum or riser jacket types. Ensure the blue colour matches your cable-management scheme and that the clear boots do not conflict with coloured-boot coding policies. The cord is not shielded, so avoid routing through high-EMI zones.
