Leviton Telcom 476TM-524 Smc Patch Panel 24-port Cat5e

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 476TM-524 is a 24-port Cat5e SMC patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. SMC panels provide a durable, modular format for organizing and terminating Cat5e horizontal cabling runs at the distribution point. This panel serves as the central termination and cross-connect point between incoming cable runs and active network equipment such as switches and routers. Licensed low-voltage installers and network technicians are the primary trade installing this type of panel in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

The 476TM-524 is suited for installations requiring a clean, rack-mounted termination solution for Cat5e cabling. It fits standard 19-inch equipment racks and enclosures used in commercial office buildouts, multi-unit residential structured wiring installations, and light industrial network infrastructure. The 24-port configuration supports a full run of horizontal drops from a single rack unit or wall-mount position, making it a practical choice for moderate-density cabling environments.

Key Features

• 24 Cat5e ports provide organized termination for up to 24 horizontal cable runs
• SMC panel format supports modular, field-terminated structured cabling
• Rack-mount design fits standard 19-inch telecom and data racks
• Single-unit quantity allows for straightforward project-quantity planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation component for 19-inch rack-mount structured cabling systems supporting Cat5e horizontal runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize all active network equipment connected to the patch panel before terminating or re-terminating ports. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for terminating Cat5e conductors at each port. Verify cable runs are within the 295-foot maximum horizontal distance specified by TIA-568 before terminating.
