Leviton Telcom 5602-2E Decora Rocker Switch 2-pole 15A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 5602-2E is a quiet 2-pole Decora-style rocker switch rated at 15 amps. Designed for smooth, near-silent operation, it fits standard Decora wallplate openings and provides reliable switching performance in residential and light commercial wiring applications. The 2-pole configuration allows it to control a load from two separate hot conductors, making it suitable for 240-volt circuits or applications requiring simultaneous breaking of both lines. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers of this device.

This switch is suited for use in residential homes, apartments, light commercial buildings, and similar occupancies where a Decora-style rocker switch is specified. Its quiet mechanism reduces the click noise common with standard toggle switches, making it appropriate for bedrooms, offices, hospitality spaces, and other noise-sensitive environments. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation in a standard single-gang or appropriate multi-gang wallbox with a compatible Decora wallplate.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before removing the existing switch or making any wire connections. Do not exceed the 15-amp current rating of this device. Secure the switch firmly in the wallbox and install an appropriate Decora wallplate before restoring power.
