Networking Cable Alcasa 7.5m Cat6 Grey S/FTP

The Alcasa 7.5m Cat6 Grey S/FTP networking cable by Good Connections provides a 7.5 m connection with Category 6 performance and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is intended for reliable, high-speed data transmission in wired network setups. The grey sheath offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for home and office environments while the Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and improved signal integrity compared with lower categories.

Advantages

S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction gives enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain stable throughput in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resist corrosion over time, reducing connection faults. The 7.5 m length provides flexibility for intermediate runs between equipment and network ports without the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, network switches and routers over short to medium distances
• Home network installations requiring reliable Gigabit performance
• Office workstations, VoIP phones and networked printers
• Temporary setups for meetings or events where a durable cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braid)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Intended use: Ethernet networking (supports Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on devices such as routers, switches, computers or networked peripherals until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks or prolonged compression that could impair shielding or conductor performance. For installations near other power cables or sources of interference, position the networking cable to maintain separation or use cable management accessories to reduce crossing and contact with high-voltage wiring.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections and avoid running it in direct contact with mains power cables. When installing in permanent or exposed locations, secure the cable with clips or trunking and avoid sharp bends with a radius smaller than advised for Cat6 cables. Periodically inspect connector contacts for debris and replace the cable if physical damage to the sheath or connectors is observed.
