Patch Cable Draka Comteq TM31 10m Cat6a Yellow

The Draka Comteq TM31 Patch Cable 10m Cat6a in yellow is a network patch lead designed for high-speed wired connections between devices. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is built to support Cat6a performance levels for reliable data transmission. The 10-meter length and visible yellow jacket make it suitable for structured cabling runs, patch panels and connections in environments where cable identification is useful.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable offers enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling improved throughput for demanding network applications. The molded RJ-45 plugs provide secure connector fit and strain relief, while the robust outer sheath increases durability and resistance to everyday wear. The yellow color improves visibility and helps with cable management and identification in racks or work areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network ports in offices
• Wiring desktop PCs, servers and networked printers
• Structured cabling runs in data closets and server rooms
• Temporary or permanent connections in home networks and small business environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate channel lengths
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, 8P8C
• Conductor and construction: twisted pair design with shielding or pair-twist performance consistent with Cat6a standards
• Outer jacket: yellow, durable PVC or equivalent material for mechanical protection
• Typical applications: Ethernet networking, LAN patching, structured cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or wall plate and the other into the Ethernet port of the target device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within recommended channel lengths for Cat6a and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the outer jacket or plugs show visible wear. Label both ends if used in environments with multiple colored or numbered cables to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
