HCA Standards and Commitment
Our products are engineered to deliver exceptional performance and long-term reli-
ability. All cables are covered by our standard 1-Year warranty. However, cables
installed by an HCA certified installer as part of a certified installation may be eligible
for Hitachi Cable America’s Lifetime Performance and Application Warranty. This war-
ranty covers the cable and connectivity as well as any warranty related labor. It is one
of the best warranties available. Only cable systems installed by Hitachi Cable certified
installers are eligible for Hitachi Cable America’s Lifetime Performance and Application
Warranty.
For over 100 years, Hitachi has been making cable. During that time, we have worked
hard to become a name you can trust. When you want an exceptional product backed

About Hitachi Cable America
Big Impact, Smaller Size
Recent advances in equipment and technology at HCA have permitted HCA to manufacture
Category 6 cables that use fewer raw materials than previous constructions. These cables
also have a smaller outside diameter. The designs, which are approximately 10% smaller than
previous designs, permit the use of smaller packages as well as result in a lighter product,
thus decreasing the fuel necessary for shipping. The resulting smaller outside diameter also
permits the use of smaller diameter conduit and sleeves at the construction site. HCA offers
four Category 6 cable constructions that utilize a new, smaller outside diameter.
Green Manufacturing Center
HCA utilizes over 35,000 gallons of water a month in the cooling of prod-
ucts and equipment. Virtually all of that water is recycled. Only what is
lost to evaporation is replaced. Regarding electrical use, HCA recently
replaced over 300 light fixtures throughout the 300,000 square foot facil-
ity with high efficiency florescent lighting. By replacing all the light fixtures,
HCA was able to reduce overall energy consumption by 11%. Most of
these lights operate on motion detection sensors so aisles in the ware-
house are not lit unless someone enters an aisle and triggers a motion
sensor. To add additional light, there are 90 skylights spread throughout
the manufacturing and warehouse areas.
HCA recycles 100% of its cardboard waste
and 100% of its white office paper waste.
During an average month, HCA recycles
nearly 14,000 pounds of cardboard and
2,000 pounds of white office paper including
junk mail, catalogs, magazines, etc. HCA’s
goal is to limit the amount of material going
to a landfill to as small an amount as pos-
sible. This message was communicated to all
employees. To help with this approach, the
employees took it upon themselves to initiate
a recycling program to include all aluminum
can and plastic bottle waste generated by
employees. The cans and bottles are accu-
mulated and then sent for recycling when
quantities are sufficient.

Made In
NewEngland
Sourcing from
New England
HCA sources the majority of its raw materials from
New England. The cardboard packaging and the
copper rod used in the extrusion of copper con-
ductors comes from within 100 miles of the HCA.
As environmental awareness has increased, so
has HCA’s commitment to minimize its impact on
both the environment around our manufacturing
facility and the locations at which our products
are installed.
In regards to U.S. Green Building Council LEED
points, HCA offers a number of opportunities
where end-users can submit for LEED points.
LEED points are available for Regional Materials
(1 point), Innovation in Design (1-5 points) and
Construction Waste Management (1-2 points).
Points may also be obtained for Construction
Waste Management by properly recycling all HCA
cardboard packaging. HCA is pleased to be able
to provide opportunities for LEED points. As we
continue to improve our products and our manu-
facturing facility, we hope to increase the number
of LEED point opportunities we can provide.
