Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP 7.5m Red

The Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP 7.5m Red networking cable from Good Connections is a 7.5 metre Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling and device connections in home and office networks. It uses Category 6 specification with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The bright red outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and cabling runs.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding helps protect against crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable data transfer over the cable length. Category 6 design provides bandwidth suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and many modern network applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and lower contact resistance for reliable performance. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between racks while the red colour aids visual organisation of network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch panel connections in server rooms and wiring cabinets
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and stable Gigabit links
• Visible or labelled cable runs where colour coding improves identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid or foil plus individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector contacts: gold-plated
• Outer jacket colour: red

How to use

Inspect both RJ-45 connectors and cable jacket for damage before installation. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (for example a switch, router or network card) and the other into the target device or patch panel until the connector latch clicks into place. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius when routing. For permanent installations, secure the cable along cable trays or cable management channels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimum performance, use this Cat. 6 S/FTP cable in environments where EMI may affect unshielded cabling and where Gigabit speeds are required. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong interference, and label both ends if used in complex patching setups. When connecting through panels or keystone jacks, ensure proper grounding of the shielded system to realise the benefits of S/FTP construction.
