Networking Cable Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cat6 3m

The Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cat6 3m networking cable is a 3-meter Cat6a-rated patch lead designed for reliable high-speed data transmission between network devices. It comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is intended for linking computers, routers, switches and patch panels in residential and commercial network environments. The cable's blue jacket provides a clear visual identification in structured cabling installations and its Cat6a performance supports modern Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbps over short to medium distances.

Advantages

The Cat6a specification of this Draka Comteq TM31 patch cable ensures a well-defined performance margin for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables. RJ-45 terminations allow broad device compatibility without adapters. The 3 m length gives flexibility for typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-equipment connections while minimizing excess cable slack. The cable's build quality and consistent impedance help maintain stable network throughput and lower packet loss in standard installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to switches or wall sockets
• Linking routers and modems to local network devices
• Short runs between patch panels and rack-mounted equipment
• Home offices and small to medium business network setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a performance characteristics suitable for up to 10 Gbps over typical short distances
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Jacket color: Blue
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission for LAN environments

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 3 m length to route between desks, wall outlets, switches or patch panels without excessive bending; maintain gentle curves and avoid tight loops. For rack installations, route the cable along cable management channels or through patch panels to keep connections organized and to minimize strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. When deploying in permanent or high-density installations, keep bend radius and connector strain relief in mind and replace damaged or heavily twisted cables to sustain reliable 10 Gbps-capable links.
