Cabo patch Draka Comteq TM31 1 m

The Draka Comteq TM31 1m patch cable is a Cat6a Ethernet lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, supplied in blue and designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. With a one-metre length it provides a neat, low-latency connection between networked devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. The cable meets the electrical and mechanical requirements typical for Cat6a class cabling, enabling multi-gigabit throughput in short-distance installations and structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable offers enhanced bandwidth capacity and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower category patch cords, supporting higher data rates for demanding network applications. Its standardized RJ-45 terminations allow plug-and-play compatibility with common network equipment. The compact 1m length reduces excess cable clutter in racks and desktop setups while the identifiable blue jacket helps with port and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in small office and home office (SOHO) environments
• Linking patch panels to switches or routers in server cabinets and wiring closets
• Establishing workstation connections for VoIP phones, PCs and NAS devices
• Temporary or permanent connections where a short, reliable Cat6a link is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance level
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Intended speed: Multi-gigabit Ethernet performance over short runs
• Construction: Unshielded/standard flexible patch cable suitable for patching and device connections

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or computers until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid placing it under heavy loads or between moving parts. For best performance, keep the cable run within recommended lengths for patch connections and avoid close parallel runs alongside high-voltage power cables that may introduce interference.

Recommendations

Use the 1m Draka Comteq TM31 patch cable for short, high-performance connections inside racks, between adjacent ports and for tidy desktop wiring. Maintain connector cleanliness and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of damage. For installations requiring longer runs or additional EMI protection, consider appropriate higher-grade or shielded cabling solutions.
