Patch Cable Draka Comteq TM31 0.5m Cat6a Green

The Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cable 0.5m Cat6a in green is a short-form network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed Ethernet links. At 0.5 metres length it is suitable for tidy connections between adjacent network devices, patch panels, switches and wall outlets. The Cat6a specification and construction support up to 500 MHz bandwidth to maintain stable data transfer rates for demanding network tasks.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable provides improved signal integrity and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, thanks to its construction aligned with Cat6a performance levels. The short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and latency in close-proximity installations. The molded RJ-45 plugs ensure secure connections and the coloured jacket simplifies cable identification in multi-run installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch or router to a nearby wall outlet or patch panel
• Short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent networking devices
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet over short distances
• Labelled or colour-coded cable management in offices and home networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Rated bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper (solid or stranded depending on variant)
• Jacket colour: green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Use this 0.5 m patch cable to link devices in close proximity, such as connecting a switch to a patch panel or a desk workstation to a wall socket. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and keep the cable free from sharp kinks. When unplugging, press the connector latch and pull the plug straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in installations where short, direct connections are required and maintain bend radius recommendations typical for Ethernet cables. For permanent in-wall installations or runs exceeding the recommended length for 10G speeds, choose an appropriate solid-conductor cable or higher-category solution designed for that application.
