What cable types does this connector support?

It supports Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The operating temperature range is -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F).

How many connectors are included in a pack?

This model (61110-RW6) is sold individually, meaning one connector per pack.

Is this connector shielded?

No, this is an UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) connector. It is not designed for environments requiring protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).

Troubleshooting

Network connection is intermittent or slow

Verify that all wires are correctly terminated according to the T568A/B standard and that each wire is fully seated in its slot. Check for damage to the cable or connector. Ensure the connector is properly seated in the QuickPort housing.

Cable tester shows an open or short circuit

Re-inspect the termination at both ends of the cable run. Ensure no stray wire strands are bridging connections. Confirm the correct color code was followed meticulously.

Connector does not snap into the wall plate/patch panel

Ensure you are using a Leviton QuickPort compatible housing. Check for any obstructions or damage on the connector's mounting tabs or the housing's receiving slots.

Difficulty terminating wires

Ensure you are using a properly functioning 110-style punch-down tool. Make sure the wires are aligned correctly with their respective slots before punching down.

  4. Slide the wires into the designated slots on the connector.
  5. Using a 110-style punch-down tool, firmly press each wire into its slot. The tool will cut off the excess wire.
