Networking Cable Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cat6 10m

The Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cat6 10m is a networking cable designed for structured Ethernet connections. This 10-metre grey patch cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and conforms to Cat6a performance parameters, supporting high-speed data transfer for local area networks and point-to-point links. It is intended for use in offices, data cabinets, and residential installations where reliable wired connectivity is required.

Advantages

The cable provides consistent signal integrity across its length thanks to Cat6a-level construction, which reduces crosstalk and supports higher bandwidth compared with lower-category patch cords. RJ-45 connectors on both ends allow straightforward plug-and-play installation with standard network devices. The 10 m length offers flexibility in routing between network outlets, switches and devices while the neutral grey sheath integrates unobtrusively into diverse environments.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections between switches and workstations in offices
• Patch panel to switch connections in communication cabinets
• Home network wiring for desktop computers, gaming consoles and smart devices
• Temporary network setups for events and testing environments

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper (unshielded or shielded as per product family)
• Colour: grey
• Typical use: patch/patching between network devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network outlet, switch or router port and the other end to the device requiring a wired connection. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the clip clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference; leave service loops where appropriate to allow movement and reconfiguration. For installations in cabinets or conduits, follow local building and cabling standards regarding bend radius and cable management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within standard Cat6a support environments, avoid tightly bundling with power cables, and maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for twisted-pair cables. Regularly inspect connector ends for damage or debris to ensure reliable contact.
