Leviton Telcom 6D460-15Y CAT6 Slim Patch Cord 15 Ft

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 6D460-15Y is a CAT6 slim patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This 15-foot cord provides a low-profile cable solution that reduces congestion in patch panels and server racks where space and airflow management are critical. The slim jacket design allows for tighter bend radii and easier cable routing without sacrificing CAT6 signal performance. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this type of patch cord to terminate equipment connections, link patch panels to switches, and organize horizontal cabling runs in telecommunications rooms and equipment closets.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems that follow ANSI/TIA-568 standards for CAT6 performance. It is commonly deployed in data centers, server rooms, office network builds, and telecom closets where high-density patching demands slimmer cable diameters. The yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices, making it easy to identify network segments or circuit types at a glance. Low-voltage contractors and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary installers for this category of cable.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard structured cabling applications
• Slim jacket profile reduces bundle diameter and improves airflow in high-density patch environments
• 15-foot length provides adequate slack for rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch connections
• Yellow jacket color enables color-coded cable management and circuit identification
• Single-unit packaging allows for precise quantity ordering without surplus

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for CAT6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in residential and commercial network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of CAT6 patch cords is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified IT infrastructure personnel following ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment ports before seating or removing patch cords to avoid interface damage. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not over-bundle slim patch cords with hook-and-loop ties or cable ties cinched too tightly, as excessive compression can degrade CAT6 transmission performance.
