Networking Cable Alcasa 50m Cat6 Grey S/FTP

The Networking Cable Alcasa 50m Cat6 Grey S/FTP is a 50-metre network cable designed for structured cabling in homes and offices. Built to Cat6 specification with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between pairs, helping maintain signal integrity for high-speed Ethernet connections. The grey outer jacket and RJ-45 termination with gold-plated contacts provide reliable physical connections for wired networks and data transfer applications.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually shielded twisted pairs) offers improved protection against noise and interference compared with unshielded cables. The Cat6 performance supports higher bandwidth and data rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and many modern networking requirements. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance corrosion resistance and ensure stable electrical contact. The 50 m length provides flexibility for longer runs without the immediate need for intermediate patch points.

Suitable for

• Wired home networks and Internet connections
• Office local area networks (LAN) and workstation cabling
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and PCs
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, file transfer and VoIP

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Route the cable from the network device to the destination port, avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or fluorescent ballast. Terminate each end with the RJ-45 connectors provided, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into the ports of switches, routers or network interface cards. For permanent installations, secure the cable along cable trays or clips and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and pair geometry.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep S/FTP cable runs separate from power cables and avoid running parallel to high-voltage lines. Use appropriate grounding practices for shielded cabling when connecting to shielded patch panels or equipment to ensure the shielding provides full benefit. Test the installed cable with a network cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance before deployment.
