Cable Patton 10-493264-10 10 ft Telco 64-pin to 32-pin unterminated

Patton 10-493264-10 is a 10 ft (approximately 3.05 m) Telco-style cable with a 64-pin side and a 32-pin side, supplied unterminated to allow custom termination. It is intended for telecom and network equipment wiring where installers need flexibility to attach specific connectors, punch down to distribution blocks, or make bespoke cable assemblies for PBX, voice and data systems. The construction supports standard Telco pinouts and provides a single-cable solution for applications requiring both 64- and 32-contact interfaces.

Advantages

This unterminated Telco cable offers flexibility for custom installations and repairs without being constrained by factory-fitted ends. Its 10 ft length provides a practical reach in standard rack and equipment layouts while remaining manageable during installation. The presence of both 64-pin and 32-pin sides simplifies wiring for systems that require mixed contact counts, reducing the need for multiple cables and allowing installers to implement specific termination methods suited to their equipment.

Suitable for

• Custom termination for PBX and telephone system installations
• Telecom and network equipment wiring and repairs
• Conversion or adaptation between 64-contact and 32-contact interfaces
• On-site cabling where punch-down blocks or proprietary connectors are used

Key specifications

• Length: 10 ft (approximately 3.05 m)
• Cable style: Telco-style multi-pair cable
• Contact configuration: one 64-pin side and one 32-pin side
• Termination: supplied unterminated for custom termination
• Typical use: voice and data telecom wiring, PBX and networking equipment connections

How to use

Prepare cable ends by stripping outer jacket and separating pairs according to the intended pinout or connector specification. Use appropriate tools for punch-down termination or soldering if required, and verify pair mapping against the target device documentation. When terminating to modular connectors or blocks, follow standard Telco wiring color codes and maintain pair twisting as needed to preserve signal integrity. After termination, test continuity and signal quality before final installation into racks or panels.

Recommendations

Store the cable in a dry environment and avoid tight bends or kinking during installation. Use strain relief at termination points and label both ends after custom termination to simplify future maintenance. Verify compatibility of the chosen termination method with the connected equipment and perform post-termination testing for voice and data channels.
