Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 1m Red

The Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 1m Red is a 1-meter S/FTP Cat6 patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable high-speed wired network connections. The S/FTP shielding (shielded foiled twisted pair) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting consistent data transfer in busy network environments. The cable's red jacket provides clear visual identification in cable management and rack installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity and helps maintain performance over short runs. Cat6 category construction supports higher bandwidth compared with older categories, enabling faster LAN transfers and better headroom for gigabit Ethernet. The molded RJ-45 connectors ensure a secure fit with standard Ethernet ports and reduce strain at the termination point. The 1 m length balances flexibility and neat routing for desktop or patch-panel use, while the red colour makes the cable easy to identify among other network leads.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches, routers and network printers within a rack or workstation area
• Patch-panel to switch connections in small office or home network setups
• Short runs where clear cable identification is needed for maintenance
• Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed LAN applications over short distances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E) performance for structured cabling
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, molded strain-relief boots
• Conductor type: stranded copper for flexibility in patching
• Outer jacket colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into a switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure the connectors fully latch to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running parallel to power cables over long distances to minimise potential interference. For wall or permanent installations consider using appropriately rated in-wall cable alternatives; this 1 m patch cable is intended for patching and short visible runs.

Usage recommendations

Use the red colour to mark specific networks or device groups for easier identification during maintenance. For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for Cat6 patching and avoid excessive bending or crushing of the cable jacket.
