Leviton QuickPort Identification Kit 49257-QHD

Product Information

Specification

For use with 24- and 48-port panels. Label holder includes adheasive backing for applying directly to patch panel surface.

Common Applications:

• Network Patch Panels:In data centers or IT closets, many Ethernet cables converge at patch panels. Identification kits help technicians quickly determine which cable corresponds to which connection, reducing downtime and potential errors during troubleshooting or upgrades.

• Wall Jacks in Office Buildings: In a large office with many rooms, it's important to know which wall jack connects to which port on the switch or patch panel. Proper labeling can streamline the process of setting up new equipment or troubleshooting connectivity issues.

• Home Media Centers: Modern homes may have intricate A/V setups, with connections for speakers, HDMI devices, gaming consoles, and more. A QuickPort Identification Kit would make it easier to identify and manage these connections.

• Classroom or Conference Room Setups:Many educational or business facilities have rooms equipped with projectors, computers, speakers, and potentially other A/V equipment. Proper port identification ensures the correct devices are connected and functional, especially when equipment is moved or changed.

• Laboratories or Industrial Settings:In environments where precision and reliability are paramount, clear identification of ports can be crucial. This might include labs with multiple pieces of test equipment or factories with many machines networked together.

Standards:

Transmission Performance: Depending on the specific QuickPort connector (e.g., CAT6, CAT5e, Coaxial), they would need to meet or exceed the transmission standards set for that type of connection. For Ethernet connectors, these standards would typically be set by organizations like the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) or the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).

Safety and Manufacturing Standards:Leviton products would be expected to comply with safety standards relevant to electrical and networking equipment. This might include standards set by organizations like Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Physical Compatibility:Ensuring that any QuickPort module will fit into any QuickPort wallplate, patch panel, or surface-mount box.

Features:

Color Coding:Different colors for different types of connectors or uses (e.g., blue for data, white for voice).

Labeling Areas: Specific areas on the connectors or wall plates where labels can be affixed for easy identification.

Pre-printed Labels:Some connectors might come with pre-printed labels indicating their intended use.

Templates:Printable templates that users can customize and print for labeling their QuickPort installations.

ID Caps or Tags:Attachable components that provide clear identification.

Construction:

They are typically made of durable plastics or metals that can withstand regular use. Modular in nature, allowing for different connectors to fit into wall plates, patch panels, or surface-mount boxes.Depending on the specific type of connector (e.g., RJ45 for Ethernet, F-connector for Coaxial), the internal construction would ensure proper signal transmission.
