Cat6 Networking Cable Alcasa 30m S/FTP

The Alcasa 30m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable by Good Connections is a 30-metre grey patch cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet links. Constructed to Cat6 specification with S/FTP shielding, this cable reduces external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while supporting reliable data transfer. Both ends terminate in RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable connections and resist corrosion, making it suitable for continuous use in home and office networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-wrapped pairs to provide enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference. The Cat6 specification ensures performance up to 250 MHz for Gigabit Ethernet and improved signal integrity compared with lower category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and durability, while the 30 m length allows flexible placement of network devices without relying on additional connectors or patch panels.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and PCs
• Home and small office network cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and large file transfers
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Typical frequency support: up to 250 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (router, switch or network interface on a computer) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or proximity to heavy electrical equipment that may cause interference. If running through walls or conduit, follow local installation codes and use appropriate grommets or strain relief.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain a bend radius no smaller than four times the cable diameter. Keep the cable away from power lines and fluorescent lighting to minimize potential electromagnetic interference. When connecting critical equipment, test link speed and error rates after installation to confirm reliable Gigabit performance.
