Leviton 6Z460-BL3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Leviton eXtreme 6Z460 Cat 6 patch cord safe to run in plenum and other enclosed spaces?
The jacket on the eXtreme 6Z460 cord is LSZH, low smoke zero halogen, which is the material specified where smoke density and halogen gas emission in a fire are the concern: plenums, risers, data halls, and tight cable trays in occupied buildings. That is a material property of the cord, not a listing mark, so if your inspector is asking for a specific plenum listing on the cord, get that confirmed against your local code before it goes overhead.
2) Is the Leviton 6Z460 shielded or unshielded, and will it work with my shielded patch panel?
Unshielded. The 6Z460 is UTP construction, so there is no drain or shield path through the connector. It will plug into a shielded jack and pass data, but it breaks the bonded shield continuity your STP system depends on, which is the whole point of running shielded in a high-EMI space. If your panels and jacks are shielded, order a shielded cord instead and keep the path intact.
3) What colors does the Leviton eXtreme 6Z460 Cat 6 LSZH patch cord come in for color coding a rack?
Three: white, blue, and grey. The part numbers run 6Z460-WH3, 6Z460-BL3, and 6Z460-GY3, and all three are the same 3 meter LSZH Cat 6 UTP cord, so you can standardize one cord across a room and still split voice, data, and management traffic by jacket color. If your scheme needs more than three colors, this family will not carry it.
4) Do I need to terminate the Leviton eXtreme Cat 6 patch cord myself, or does it come with plugs on it?
Plugs on both ends from the factory. The 6Z460 is a finished patch cord, not bulk cable, so there is no crimping, no plugs to buy, and no field testing of your own terminations. Pull it out of the bag and plug it in. If you are the one running horizontal cable through walls to jacks, that is bulk cable and a different order.
5) I am cabling a hospital or a school and the spec calls for low smoke zero halogen. Does the Leviton 6Z460 meet that?
LSZH is exactly what the 6Z460 is built from, which is the material institutional specs name for healthcare, education, transit, and government facilities where occupants cannot clear the building quickly. Ordinary PVC-jacketed patch cords do not meet an LSZH call-out. Where a spec names a particular jacket standard or agency listing by number, match that against your submittal package, since the material type and a specific listing are two separate line items on most drawings.
6) Can I run PoE cameras or access points on a Leviton eXtreme Cat 6 UTP patch cord?
PoE rides the same four pairs as the data, and the 6Z460 is a standard four-pair Cat 6 UTP cord, so it works as the jumper between your PoE switch port and the panel. The heat consideration with PoE is in the bundled horizontal run, not a single 3 meter patch in open rack air. Note the cord is unshielded, so if your camera runs are shielded end to end you want a shielded jumper to keep the bond continuous.
7) Will the Leviton 6Z460 Cat 6 cord support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
At 3 meters, yes in practice. 10GBASE-T over Cat 6 is distance-limited rather than category-limited, and the limit is well beyond a short in-rack jumper; the constraint shows up on long horizontal runs, not on a patch cord. What actually decides it is your switch ports and the horizontal cable between them. If the whole channel is being built for 10G at full length, that is a Cat 6A conversation, not a patch cord one.
