Cable de red Draka Comteq Cat.6a 0,5m negro

The Draka Comteq Cat.6a 0.5m Black networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in compact setups. It features S/FTP shielding to limit electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward connection to network ports, switches, routers and devices. The 0.5 meter length helps maintain a neat installation where devices are close together and reduces excess cable on desks or in server racks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. The Cat.6a specification supports higher data rates and bandwidth requirements than Cat.5e and Cat.6 in many installations. Compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal loss from unnecessary length. Standard RJ-45 plugs allow immediate compatibility with common networking equipment without adapters.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches in racks or cabinets
• Linking network devices on desktops or behind media equipment where space is limited
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring Cat.6a performance and reduced interference
• Temporary test setups in labs or field service where a short, reliable cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Black
• Supports: High-speed Ethernet applications up to Cat.6a performance levels

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Position the cable without tight bends or kinks and avoid routing it close to heavy power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use appropriate cable management to keep the short cable tidy and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat.6a cable for short, high-performance links where minimized cable length is desirable. For long-distance runs choose a longer Cat.6a cable; for unshielded environments where EMI is not a concern a Cat.6 UTP cable may be sufficient. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding or plugs show signs of wear.
