Leviton Telcom 6AS10-5R Cat6a Slim Patch Cord 5ft Red

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 6AS10-5R is a Category 6A slim patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to Cat6a performance standards, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The slim-profile construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panels and switch ports, improving airflow and cable management in equipment racks and data cabinets. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cord to connect patch panels to switches, or end devices to wall jacks, wherever a clean, organized run is required.

This patch cord is suited for data center environments, server rooms, and structured wiring closets where port density is high and space is limited. The red jacket provides quick visual identification on crowded patch panels, supporting color-coded cable management schemes. At 5 feet, it is sized for short horizontal runs between adjacent rack-mounted equipment. Installation teams working under TIA-568 structured cabling standards will find this cord a standard fit for typical rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch applications.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Slim-profile jacket reduces bundle diameter in high-density patch panel installations
• Red jacket enables color-coded port identification and cable management
• 5-foot length sized for short intra-rack or panel-to-switch connections
• Sold individually, one cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat6a patch panel and structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers are the typical trade for this product. Before making connections, confirm that switch ports and patch panel jacks are also rated Cat6a to maintain full channel performance. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6a cordage, as excessive bending can degrade signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 channel testing guidelines after installation to verify end-to-end performance.
