Cat6a S/FTP networking cable Alcasa 15m

The Alcasa 15m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable from Good Connections provides a 15 m connection designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements. Constructed with S/FTP shielding (shielded foil around each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield) and terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is intended for applications that require high-speed data transfer and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference. The cable supports typical Cat6a use cases such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper within the rated distance and is suitable for structured cabling installations where reduced crosstalk and stable signal integrity are needed.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. A 15 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between networking equipment without additional patch panels. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network ports and make the cable ready for plug-and-play deployment. The cable's Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance for demanding network traffic.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and networked devices within small offices or homes
• High-speed data transfer tasks such as 10 Gbps LAN links within the specified distance
• Structured cabling runs where shielding is required to reduce EMI and maintain signal quality
• Temporary or permanent patching between network racks or wall outlets and devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braided shield)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Intended use: Ethernet networking up to Cat6a performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network switch, router or wall outlet and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device such as a PC, server or network-attached storage. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling tension and routes close to strong sources of electrical noise. When used for 10 Gbps links, keep the total copper link length within Cat6a guidance to maintain specified performance.

Usage recommendations

Install the cable in a route with minimal mechanical stress and avoid running parallel and close to high-voltage power lines. If the environment has significant electromagnetic interference, use properly grounded equipment and shielding practices. Inspect RJ-45 connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if shielding or connectors are compromised.
