Leviton Telcom 5262-S1E Split Ground Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 5262-S1E is a split individually grounded electrical receptacle designed for installations where isolated or independently grounded outlets are required. Split-ground receptacles separate the grounding conductor from the shared equipment ground, allowing sensitive electronic and telecommunications equipment to operate with reduced noise interference. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed electricians working in commercial, telecommunications, or data environments where power quality is a concern.

Split individually grounded receptacles like the 5262-S1E are commonly specified in telecommunications rooms, server closets, broadcast facilities, and commercial office buildouts where equipment is sensitive to electrical noise on a shared ground plane. The individually grounded design supports cleaner signal environments for connected devices. This part falls within the fiber optic hardware and connectivity category, indicating suitability for mixed-use low-voltage and power distribution panel builds common in structured wiring installations.

Key Features

• Split ground design isolates the equipment ground for noise-sensitive applications
• Individually grounded configuration reduces common-mode interference at connected devices
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward one-for-one replacement or new installation
• Suited for telecommunications and structured wiring environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation receptacle for commercial and telecommunications electrical systems requiring split individually grounded outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for grounding and bonding. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage before beginning work. Split ground receptacles require a dedicated grounding conductor run separately from the equipment grounding path of adjacent outlets. Do not share the isolated ground conductor with standard equipment grounds on the same circuit.
