Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-015B Cat8.1 1.5m Blue

The Alcasa 8080-015B Cat8.1 1.5m Blue networking cable is a high-performance S/FTP copper cable designed for demanding wired network environments. With RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, this 1.5 m cable provides reliable physical connections between devices, supporting high data transfer rates and low signal interference for home, office, or data center applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding architecture reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity at high frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure durable contact resistance and consistent connectivity over repeated insertions. The Cat8.1 specification allows support for multi-gigabit and 40 Gbit/s class network links over short distances, while the 1.5 m length limits excess cable bulk when connecting nearby equipment. The blue jacket offers clear visual identification in cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-speed switches, routers and network interface cards in small server rooms
• Backbone or patch connections in workplaces requiring up to multi-gigabit throughput
• High-bandwidth home networks for streaming, gaming and media servers
• Equipment racks or desktop setups where a 1.5 m cable length is advantageous

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s class performance)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router, modem or network card and insert the other connector into the corresponding port of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For highest performance, use this Cat8.1 cable for short-distance links within racks or between nearby network devices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, pair this cable with compatible Cat8-capable hardware and quality patch panels or switches. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius above manufacturer-recommended limits. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if connector pins show signs of wear.
