Networking Cable Alcasa 8060-HS005S 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP Black

The Alcasa 8060-HS005S 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP Black networking cable is designed for short-distance, high-speed Ethernet connections. This Cat6a cable features U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to reduce signal loss and maintain reliable performance in demanding network environments. Its compact 0.5 m length is suitable for connecting devices within racks, between adjacent ports, or linking equipment on desks where space is limited.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide stable contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and helps maintain clean, organized installations in cabinets, patch panels, and workstations. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that blends with most IT equipment and cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and patch panels in server racks
• Linking adjacent ports on routers, switches, or patch bays
• Short-distance connections between desktop devices and wall ports
• High-density cabling environments where space and neatness are important

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Compatibility: Designed for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until a click confirms a secure latch. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices positioned close to each other such as switch-to-switch, switch-to-patch panel, or computer-to-wall jack. Avoid sharp bends or kinks near the connectors; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve signal integrity. For installations in racks or panels, route the cable with other short patch cords to maintain tidy cable management.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within the intended 0.5 m distance and avoid routing it near high-power electrical lines. Inspect the RJ-45 plugs for debris before inserting and replace the cable if connectors are damaged. In high-density or high-interference environments, combine the U/FTP cable with proper grounding and shielded patch panels to maximize noise immunity.
