Leviton Telcom 62460-5E Cat6 Plus Patch Cable Black 5ft

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 62460-5E is a Cat6 plus rated patch cable designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential low-voltage applications. At 5 feet in length, it delivers reliable Ethernet connectivity between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. The cable meets Cat6 performance standards, supporting high-speed data transmission with reduced crosstalk and signal interference. It ships in black jacket finish, making it easy to color-code or identify within dense patch panel environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trade professionals who work with this type of cable.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, office network closets, and residential home-run panel setups. The 5-foot length is a common choice for short runs between equipment in a rack or equipment cabinet. It is also appropriate for connecting wall jacks to desktop workstations or network appliances at short distances. Installations governed by TIA-568 structured cabling standards will find this cable compatible with standard 8P8C modular plug terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or data cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all connected ports and patch panels are rated at Cat6 or higher to maintain full channel performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinking along the cable run, as excessive bend radius can degrade signal integrity. No tools are required for standard plug-to-port connections.
