Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Green

The Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Green is a short patch cable intended for reliable, high-speed wired network connections. It uses Category 6 wiring and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and support Gigabit Ethernet performance in rack, switch, or desktop environments. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends and features gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal transfer. Its 0.5 m length makes it suitable for close-proximity connections where cable management and minimal signal loss are important, while the green jacket helps with visual identification within structured cabling systems.

Advantages

S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference by combining individual pair shielding with an overall foil shield. Category 6 specification supports higher data rates and tighter performance margins compared with lower categories, making the cable appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and many PoE applications. RJ-45 terminations with gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy routing inside racks, patch panels, or between adjacent devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers, or patch panels within racks and cabinets
• Linking desktop PCs or workstations to wall ports or nearby network devices
• Short interconnects between network equipment in data closets or home offices
• Environments requiring clear cable identification using color-coded leads

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall foil shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: green
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet, PoE

How to use

Route the Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP cable between the two network ports to be connected, ensuring connectors are fully inserted until the RJ-45 latch clicks. Avoid tight bends or kinks near the connector ends and maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with Category 6 cabling practice to preserve signal integrity. For use in patch panels or racks, label both ends as needed for identification and connect to the appropriate switch ports or wall jacks. When multiple cables are present, use the green colour to identify this connection in your documentation or cable management scheme.

Usage recommendations

Do not expose the cable to excessive mechanical stress, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or moisture. For best performance, install the cable away from high-voltage power lines and maintain proper separation from sources of electromagnetic interference. Confirm connector compatibility with your equipment and avoid over-tightening any cable ties near the connector boots to prevent damage.
