Leviton Telcom 16A22-UE 3-wire T-connector

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 16A22-UE is a 3-wire T-connector designed for tapping applications in low-voltage wiring systems. This connector provides a secure branch point in a wiring run, allowing a third conductor to tap off an existing 2-wire circuit without breaking the primary line. It is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians working on telecom, data, or structured wiring systems.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial wiring installations where a reliable tapping point is needed in a 3-wire configuration. Typical applications include telephone distribution wiring, low-voltage signal lines, and structured cabling runs where branching is required at a single connection point. The tapered design aids in guiding conductors into the connector body during termination.

Key Features

• 3-wire T-connector configuration for in-line tapping without cutting the primary run
• Tapered connector body aids conductor insertion and alignment
• Sold as an individual unit for single-point installation
• Classified as a hardware accessory for telecom and low-voltage wiring systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardware accessory for use in 3-wire low-voltage tapping applications in telecom and structured wiring installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before making or breaking any connections. Ensure conductors are fully seated in the connector body before completing termination. Do not exceed the connector's rated conductor capacity or use with conductors outside the intended wire gauge range.
