Patchkabel Draka Comteq TM31 10m

The Draka Comteq TM31 10m patch cable is a Cat6a Ethernet lead with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and a blue jacket. Engineered for environments that require high-speed wired connections, this 10-metre cable supports demanding network traffic while maintaining signal integrity. Its construction follows Cat6a performance guidelines to help deliver reliable data transmission for desktop workstations, switches, routers and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable provides enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, supporting higher throughput over short and medium distances. The RJ-45 connectors offer secure plug-in connections and consistent contact pressure for stable links. The flexible blue sheath eases cable routing and identification in structured cabling setups, and the 10 m length accommodates a wide range of office and home layouts without the need for additional extensions.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or workstations to network switches or routers
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as large file transfers, video streaming and VoIP
• Temporary or permanent cabling between network devices where a 10 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (Augmented Category 6)
• Length: 10 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor type: stranded copper conductors (flexible)
• Impedance: 100 ohm (nominal, for twisted-pair Ethernet)
• Jacket colour: blue
• Typical supported speeds: up to 10 Gbps at specified distances per Cat6a standards

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect until the connector latch clicks. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector ends and maintain gentle curves to preserve cable performance. For rack installations, route the cable through cable management panels or ties to prevent strain on the connectors. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and pull the plug straight out to avoid damaging the clip.

Recommendations

Use the Draka Comteq TM31 10m patch cable for in-room or rack-to-desk connections where Cat6a performance is required. Keep the cable away from sources of electrical interference and avoid running it parallel and close to mains power cables over long distances. For permanent structured cabling or runs exceeding specification distances, consult cabling standards and consider shielded or permanent-install cables as appropriate.
