Draka Comteq DRTM31 Cat6 Patch Cable 3m Grey

The Draka Comteq DRTM31 Cat6 3m Grey patch cable is a 3‑meter network cable designed for reliable high‑speed LAN connections. Equipped with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, this Cat6a cable supports elevated bandwidth and stable signal transmission while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier Ethernet standards. Its grey jacket offers a neutral, professional appearance suitable for office, rack and desktop environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable provides consistent data transfer rates and low signal loss across typical Ethernet frequencies. The stranded conductor and standardized RJ‑45 terminations ensure secure connections and flexible cable routing. The grey outer sheath resists abrasion and helps keep installation visually unobtrusive. Overall, the cable combines ease of use, compatibility with existing network equipment, and performance for modern wired networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, switches and routers within office LANs
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in data centers
• Workstation connections where a 3 m reach is required
• Environments requiring Cat6a performance and backward compatibility

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (backward compatible with Cat6/Cat5e)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connectors: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Conductor type: stranded (for flexible patching)
• Jacket color: grey
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN, patching and device interconnects

How to use

Insert the RJ‑45 connectors into the corresponding ports of your network devices until they click into place. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending, kinking or crushing, and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference. For rack installations, use horizontal managers or cable ties to secure the cable without compressing the jacket. If testing or certification is required, verify link speed and signal integrity after installation using appropriate network testers.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m Cat6a patch cable for short to medium device-to-device connections where Cat6a bandwidth and backward compatibility are needed. Avoid tight bends and protect connectors from moisture and dirt. For permanent in-wall installations, choose cables intended for in‑wall use rather than patch cables.
