Leviton Telcom 81Z10-S03 Cat 8 Patch Cord Cmr Lszh

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 81Z10-S03 is a Category 8 patch cord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket construction. It is designed to connect network equipment within structured cabling systems, supporting high-speed data transmission between switches, servers, patch panels, and other active equipment. At 3 meters in length, this cord suits short equipment-bay runs and rack-to-rack connections. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it appropriate for installations where air handling and occupant safety are priorities. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and enterprise network environments where Cat 8 performance and fire-safety jacket ratings are required. Typical applications include data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment closets where riser-rated or low-smoke cabling is specified by the project design or local fire code. The 3-meter length is a common choice for top-of-rack switching configurations and structured cabling patch fields.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 8 patch cord for use with RJ45-compatible network equipment including switches, servers, patch panels, and network interface cards in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. Verify that the patch cord jacket rating meets the requirements of the applicable fire code and building specification before installation. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not overtighten cable management hardware around the cord. Confirm port compatibility and cable management clearance in the rack or panel before routing.
