Networking Cable Draka Comteq 21.05.2006 Black 0.5 m

The Draka Comteq 21.05.2006 Black 0.5 m networking cable is a short, flexible Ethernet lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for reliable local network connections. With a compact length of 0.5 m and a neutral black jacket, the cable is intended for tidy connections between nearby devices where longer cables would create clutter. It supports standard Ethernet signal transmission and is suitable for typical home and office network setups requiring close-proximity linking of switches, routers, computers and networked peripherals.

Advantages

The cable’s short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling and helps maintain an organized workspace. RJ-45 terminations on both ends provide compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity. The black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance that blends with most equipment racks and desktop setups while providing basic mechanical protection for the inner conductors. The product is manufactured by Draka, a known supplier of communication cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop PC or laptop to a nearby router or switch
• Linking networked peripherals such as printers, NAS units or VoIP phones to a local switch
• Short patch connections within patch panels, small racks or under-desk routing
• Temporary or permanent connections where a compact cable length is preferable

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer jacket color: Black
• Intended use: Ethernet networking and data transmission
• Cable form factor: Flexible patch cable suitable for short-distance connections

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device and the other connector into the target device’s Ethernet port until each latch clicks into place. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks and keep the cable clear of sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If routing through a patch panel or small rack, allow gentle curvature and secure the cable to avoid strain at the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m cable for short, direct connections where excess cable length would interfere with workspace organization. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show visible damage. For longer runs or installations requiring specific performance categories, select an appropriately rated cable type and length.
