Leviton Telcom 6AS10-20L Cat 6A Slim Patch Cord 20ft

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 6AS10-20L is a Category 6A slim-line patch cord finished in blue, measuring 20 feet in length. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cord supports high-speed data transmission at the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard that Cat 6A cabling is built to deliver. Its slim-line jacket reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in high-density patch panel environments, making it a practical choice for data centers, telecommunications rooms, and network closets where cable management is critical. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of cord.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-bay runs in commercial and enterprise network environments. It connects patch panels to switches, routers, or end devices in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568-C.2 or ISO 11801 Cat 6A standards. The blue jacket aids in color-coded port identification and cable tracing, which is standard practice in multi-tenant and high-density installations. Sold individually, one cord per unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in commercial and enterprise network environments.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat 6A patch cord deployment. No tools are required for installation, but ensure patch panel and switch ports are powered down or that the network segment is taken offline before swapping active connections to avoid unintended traffic disruption. Route cords through cable management arms or D-rings to maintain bend radius and prevent signal degradation. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for patch cord length limits relative to the overall channel length.
