Leviton Telcom 6D460-3Y CAT6 Slimline Patch Cord

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 6D460-3Y is a Category 6 slimline patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Its reduced-diameter construction allows higher-density cable management in patch panels, switches, and distribution frames without sacrificing performance. The 6D460-3Y meets CAT6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth data applications. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the typical trade professionals handling this cable during structured cabling runs and equipment room builds.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office network installations. The slimline profile makes it well-suited for high-density panel environments where standard-diameter patch cords create airflow and cable management challenges. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panel ports found in CAT6 cabling systems.

Key Features

• Slimline form factor reduces bulk in high-density patch panel installations
• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data transmission
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard structured cabling terminations
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering for installations
• Designed for use in commercial and residential network infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for CAT6 structured cabling systems using standard RJ45-terminated patch panels, network switches, and wall jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation of low-voltage data cabling is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians in compliance with local building codes and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down active switch ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live equipment racks when possible. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade CAT6 signal performance. Route cables through appropriate cable management hardware to maintain separation from high-voltage conductors per NEC guidelines.
