What is actually expiring in December 2026
Here are the Legrand NCA EPDs we can confirm with December 2026 end dates as of April 20, 2026.
- Luxul Port‑on‑Back PoE+ Ethernet Switch, 26 ports with PoE, MasterFormat 27 10 00 Structured Cabling, validity 2021‑12‑28 to 2026‑12‑28. Program Operator: PEP Ecopassport.
- Luxul Port‑on‑Front PoE+ Ethernet Switch, 26 ports with PoE, MasterFormat 27 10 00 Structured Cabling, validity 2021‑12‑28 to 2026‑12‑28. Program Operator: PEP Ecopassport.
Our review also shows three additional Legrand NCA declarations with December 2026 end dates in the same 27 10 00 family. Their individual titles are not re‑published in newer versions yet, and we did not find newer replacement EPDs posted for them as of today.
Are replacements already live
We did not find newer versions of the two Luxul PoE switch EPDs noted above. No revised declarations with later validity windows appear for the same SKUs as of April 20, 2026. That means December 2026 is the real cutoff unless renewals are submitted and posted ahead of time.

Where specifiers may turn if renewals slip
If December rolls in without fresh Legrand EPDs for these SKUs, project teams that require current EPDs will reach for near‑by products with valid declarations in the same MasterFormat family.
Examples available today in Structured Cabling:
- Leviton Category 6A U/UTP Low‑Smoke Halogen‑Free cable, validity through 2028‑11‑01, MasterFormat 27 10 00. Program Operator: UL.
- CommScope Indoor/Outdoor LSZH all‑dielectric optical cable, validity through 2029‑05‑17, MasterFormat 27 10 00. Program Operator: ASTM.
Both are different sub‑types than a PoE switch, yet sit in the same 27 10 00 specification lane many owners and AEs use to assemble data and power distribution to endpoints. In mixed bundles, a current EPD elsewhere in the chain sometimes keeps that brand in consideration while a device‑level EPD is renewed. When a project’s spec is strict, though, lack of a current product‑specific EPD can be a hard stop for that exact SKU.
Why timing matters commercially
EPDs typically run on five‑year validity clocks. Let one expire and bid teams can be forced to substitute or document with unfavorable defaults that raise the modeled footprint for that scope. That makes pricing do the heavy lifting. Staying current keeps the conversation on performance and total value, not just discounting. It also prevents last‑minute chases inside procurement windows where there is no slack.
Fast‑track plan for December renewals
Here is a simple playbook that de‑risks the handoff and keeps SKUs spec‑eligible.
- Lock the reference year and data owners this week, including utilities, scrap, and outbound logistics per plant.
- Confirm the PCR you will use on renewal, including any addenda, and align on the preferred program operator so verification queues do not surprise you later.
- Prioritize the highest‑velocity SKUs first. A two‑wave submission often gets the bulk of revenue protected faster.
- Line up reviewer availability and publish early enough that EC3 and other hubs update before December.
What we will keep watching
We are tracking the five December 2026 expirations noted above. If Legrand posts updated EPDs for these Luxul switches or the other three structured‑cabling entries, we will update this brief so specifiers do not have to guess. If your team needs help compressing data collection across plants and ERP silos, that is where we shine. Speed with quality is the whole point. Dont wait for the calendar to make the decision for you.
