Networking Cable Alcasa 2m Cat6a S/FTP Blue

The Networking Cable Alcasa 2m Cat6a S/FTP Blue is a 2 metre network patch cable designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements. It features S/FTP shielding (overall foil with individually shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and provide stable high-speed data transmission. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors and the cable is finished in a blue jacket for easy identification in cabling runs.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting higher data rates and more reliable connections in environments with multiple signal sources. The 2 m length is convenient for linking devices within racks, between desks and nearby network ports. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within the same room
• Home or small office networks requiring Cat6a performance
• Patch panels and structured cabling where short jumper cables are needed

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be necessary for very long runs where fibre or higher-category cabling is preferred for distance or future-proofing. In environments with no significant electromagnetic interference, a lower-category unshielded cable could be sufficient and more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Route the Networking Cable Alcasa 2m Cat6a S/FTP Blue between the two network devices you wish to connect, ensuring the cable is not excessively bent or kinked. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into the Ethernet ports until they click. For best performance, avoid tightly bundling the cable with power lines and keep the cable length appropriate for the topology of your setup. If used with shielded equipment, ensure proper grounding where required by your installation practices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 2 m is sufficient for your setup
• Whether Cat6a performance and S/FTP shielding are needed for your network environment
• Connector compatibility with your devices (RJ-45 standard Ethernet ports)

Usage recommendations

For consistent Cat6a performance, avoid sharp bends and long unsupported spans. Use the Alcasa 2m Cat6a S/FTP Blue as short patch or interconnect cable in shielded or mixed environments and verify grounding when integrating with shielded racks or panels.
