Patch Cable Draka Comteq TM31 10m

The Draka Comteq TM31 10m patch cable is a Cat6a Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, presented in green and designed for high-speed data transmission over a 10-metre length. It supports Gigabit and multi-gigabit network environments where consistent signal quality and reduced interference are required. The cable is intended for in-building horizontal connections between devices such as switches, routers, servers and workstations.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable offers improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category patch cords, providing more reliable throughput in dense network installations. The 10 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and office layouts, while the RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The green jacket provides clear visual identification for network organization and easier tracing among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to servers or patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking desktop workstations to wall ports or network outlets
• Temporary or permanent connections in office and lab environments
• Multi-gigabit Ethernet setups and high-bandwidth applications

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a suitable for up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Jacket colour: Green for visual identification
• Conductor type: Twisted pair construction for reduced interference

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to connect until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight knots or prolonged contact with heat sources; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve signal integrity. For rack or cabinet installations, secure the cable using appropriate ties or management panels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within structured cabling limits and avoid exceeding recommended channel lengths for Cat6a in a given installation. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power cabling to minimise interference. Label both ends if used in larger installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
