Networking Cable Alcasa 40m Cat6 S/FTP

The Networking Cable Alcasa 40m Cat6 S/FTP is a 40-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for Ethernet connections in home and office networks. It features S/FTP (shielded and foiled twisted pair) construction and RJ-45 to RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance while the shielding improves signal integrity for high-speed data transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP design reduces external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between pairs, supporting more stable and reliable connections in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts help maintain low contact resistance and resist corrosion over time. At 40 metres in length, this cable covers longer runs without intermediate patch points, simplifying installation in larger rooms or between network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches, routers and patch panels within home or small office networks
• High-speed applications such as LAN file transfers, video streaming and VoIP
• Wiring to wall sockets or structured cabling runs where a 40 m length is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specified as Cat6 and S/FTP shielded, which is appropriate for many gigabit Ethernet deployments. It may not be suitable where Cat6a or higher-rated cables are required for guaranteed 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over longer distances. The single-ended RJ-45 terminations mean it is not intended for permanent in-wall termination without appropriate wall jacks and installation practices.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 40 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the 40 m cable between network devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until you feel a click. Verify link and speed indications on connected devices to confirm proper operation. For wall or in-wall installations, use appropriate wall plates and maintain recommended bend radius; do not rely on patch cable terminations for permanent concealed wiring.

What to consider before purchase

• Required Ethernet performance (Gigabit vs 10 Gigabit) and whether Cat6 meets your long-term needs
• Need for shielded cable in your environment to reduce interference
• Length required and routing path to ensure 40 m is suitable without excess slack
• Whether in-wall installation is needed — Cat6 patch cables are typically for patching, not fixed in-wall terminations

Usage recommendations

Use this Good Connections Cat6 S/FTP cable for reliable gigabit connections in home and office networks; keep the cable clear of power lines and high-interference equipment, and use proper wall jacks for permanent in-wall deployments.
