Networking Cable Alcasa 8060-HP005S Black 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Alcasa 8060-HP005S Black 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable by Good Connections is a short patch cable engineered for high-speed wired Ethernet links. It complies with Cat6a performance parameters and features S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Each end is fitted with an RJ-45 connector plated in gold for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.5 m length and black jacket make this cable suitable for tidy connections in racks, desktop setups, and concentrated network zones.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference, helping to maintain stable high-bandwidth signals. Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at suitable distances and offers better frequency handling compared with lower categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve electrical contact and resist oxidation, ensuring consistent link quality over time. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal degradation caused by excessive cable runs in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in server racks and patch panels where short runs are needed
• Desk-to-switch connections in office and home workstations
• Linking high-performance switches, routers, NAS units, and gaming rigs
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m Alcasa Cat6a S/FTP cable for short patch connections between switches, routers, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are aligned correctly to avoid damaging the jack and avoid excessive bending near the connector boots to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this shielded Cat6a cable in conjunction with shielded network equipment or properly grounded patch panels to maximise EMI protection. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bends above the minimum bend radius to maintain signal performance. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and replace the cable if physical damage is observed.
