Leviton Telcom 16D33-UB Female Detachable Plug

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 16D33-UB is a female detachable plug with a taper nose design, used in low-voltage wiring and telecom hardware accessory applications. This plug is designed for secure, tool-assisted termination in signal and communications wiring installations. The taper nose profile aids in guiding the plug into panel connectors and junction points, reducing misalignment during field installation. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers for this type of component, typically in structured wiring, patch panels, or similar termination environments.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial installations where detachable, field-terminable connectors are required. It is commonly used in telecom hardware accessory assemblies, including modular wiring panels and communications infrastructure buildouts. The detachable design allows for replacement or reconfiguration without cutting and re-terminating the full cable run, which is a practical advantage in service and retrofit scenarios.

Key Features

• Taper nose design guides plug into panel connectors for clean, aligned seating
• Detachable construction allows field removal and replacement without full re-termination
• Female plug configuration for use with corresponding male connector interfaces
• Sold individually, suitable for single-point replacement or small-quantity installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-install component for low-voltage telecom and communications wiring hardware accessory applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or telecom technicians in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. De-energize any associated circuits before handling connectors or terminating cable runs. Use appropriate hand tools for seating and securing the detachable plug. Avoid forcing the connector into misaligned ports, as the taper nose is intended to guide, not force, proper seating.
