Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-005G 0.5m Cat8.1 S/FTP Green

The Alcasa 8080-005G 0.5m Cat8.1 S/FTP Green is a short patch cable designed for high-speed network links where space is limited. It features Cat8.1 specification and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and comes with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transmission. This 0.5 m cable supports very high data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is suitable for connecting devices within racks, between switches, or linking workstations to local network endpoints while keeping cable runs neat and visible thanks to its green colour.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP construction combines an overall braid with individually foiled pairs to provide enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise, improving signal integrity in densely cabled environments. Short length reduces latency and clutter in server cabinets and desktop setups, and the gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer reliable corrosion resistance and low contact resistance for stable connections. The green jacket makes cable identification easier in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and network closets
• Connecting switches, routers, and network appliances in close proximity
• Workstation to wall outlet or patch panel links
• High-speed data transfers and low-latency local connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Green
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, or patch panel and the other into the device you want to connect. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Use this 0.5 m Alcasa Cat8.1 cable for short-distance links where high throughput is required; avoid stretching or sharply bending the cable near the connectors to maintain performance. For best results, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference despite the shielding.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short, high-performance indoor links in rack or desktop environments. Verify compatibility of connected equipment with Cat8.1 performance levels and avoid excessive mechanical stress; when creating organized installations, label both ends and choose matching cable colours to simplify identification and maintenance.
