Latiguillo Draka Comteq TM31 0,5 m

The Draka Comteq TM31 0.5m patch cable is a Cat6a network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance connections between networking devices. Its 0.5 metre length and grey jacket make it suitable for tidy installations in patch panels, switches and workstation connections. The cable supports high-speed Ethernet data transmission and follows Cat6a performance characteristics to maintain signal integrity for modern wired networks.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable category 6a performance for up to 10 Gbps networks at suitable distances and is manufactured with robust RJ-45 plugs to ensure stable plug-and-play connections. Its compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and helps maintain organized racks and desktops. The grey outer sheath offers a neutral appearance that integrates into office and home environments while protecting internal conductors against everyday wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets and comms racks
• Short links between network equipment such as routers, switches and workstations
• Home office or small office wired Ethernet connections
• Temporary test or diagnostic connections in network maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 at both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Supported data rates: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate channel lengths
• Construction: twisted pair design with shielded or unshielded options depending on model variant

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other connector into the destination device port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct connections to minimise cable slack. Avoid tight bends and kinks near the connectors and route the cable to prevent interference from power lines and strong electromagnetic sources. Verify link status via device LEDs or network diagnostics after connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for short patch connections within racks or between nearby devices and avoid stretching beyond its intended length. If operating in electrically noisy environments, select a shielded variant and ensure correct grounding practices. Store unused cables coiled loosely to preserve jacket and conductor integrity.
