Networking cable Alcasa 2m Cat6A S/FTP Purple

The Alcasa 2m Cat6A S/FTP Purple networking cable from Good Connections is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed wired connections. Featuring S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this 2 m cable is intended for environments where signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are important. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and is suitable for connecting computers, switches, routers and other Ethernet-enabled devices in home and office networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference, which helps maintain stable high-speed connections over the full 2 m length. The RJ-45 connectors provide universal compatibility with standard Ethernet ports, and the Cat6A specification supports 10 Gbps networking where cabling and equipment allow. The cable's purple jacket offers easy visual identification within structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps local area network links between devices within short to medium distances
• Connecting desktop computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs and NAS devices to routers or switches
• Home and small office installations requiring shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Cabling runs where color-coding aids identification and organization

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented Cat6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (dependent on network equipment and conditions)
• Color: purple

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the intended devices until the locking tab clicks into place. Use the cable to link a computer, switch, router or other networked device to establish a wired connection. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm successful negotiation of speed and duplex. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, tight kinks and running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances.

Usage recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance, ensure connected network equipment supports Cat6A or higher and that patching panels and ports are properly rated. When installing in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, maintain proper grounding of network equipment and avoid placing the cable alongside power distribution runs. Use the purple color for organized cable management and labeling to facilitate troubleshooting and future changes.
