    Full text manual (for reference)

    Product specifications for Leviton's eXtreme™ Cat 6 High-Flex Patch Cords (6H460-XX series) — flexible, high-density Cat 6 / 1-Gigabit patch cords with a narrow bend radius for use in structured cabling and high-density switch/router environments.

    Application

    eXtreme High-Flex Cat 6 Patch Cords are designed to be used in Cat 6 / 1-Gigabit applications and all frequencies from 1 to 250 MHz. Patch cords offer flexible, high-density patching and support high-speed data applications. They reduce patch cord density in a 24-port patch panel by 38 percent when compared to typical Cat 6 patch cords.

    Features

    • Available in white, yellow, gray, black, red, green, and blue
    • Available in stock lengths of 6 inches (0.15m) or 1–20 feet (0.30–6.0m) in 1-foot (0.3m) increments (longer lengths up to 50 feet available in blue)
    • Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) compatible
    • Accommodate use in high-density switches, routers, and other electronics
    • Bend radius is a narrow 0.60 inches (15.2mm), versus 1.0 inch (25.4mm) for typical Cat 6 patch cords
    • Snagless plug design with integrated strain-relief boot
    • Plug contacts rated to 2,500 mating cycles
    • Dual-rated cable jacket (CM/LSZH)

    Design Considerations

    • Designed to provide connectivity for Cat 6 / 1-Gigabit applications
    • Available in a variety of colors for color coding or organization
    • Channel length: supports 96-m channels that include 90-m permanent links, or 93-m channels with 10 m of patch cords included in the channel
    • Under PoE at 90 watts, maximum bundle size is 12 cables with a separation of 1.5 inches from outer edge to outer edge of cable bundles for 28 AWG cables installed in air and a maximum ambient temperature of 45°C (113°F), as defined in TIA TSB-184-A

    Specification

    Patch cords shall provide 1 Gigabit application performance for cross connecting in systems comprising equipment, cable, and appropriate connectors. The patch cords shall be 28-gauge, unshielded, twisted-pair, stranded conductor construction with a standard 8-position modular plug on both ends. Plug contacts shall be plated with a minimum of 50 micro-inches of gold and rated to 2,500 mating cycles. Patch cords shall have an outer diameter of 0.15 inches (3.8mm) and shall be available in white, yellow, gray, black, red, green, and blue.
