Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-015R Red 1.5m Cat8.1 S/FTP

The Alcasa 8080-015R Red 1.5m Cat8.1 S/FTP is a high-performance networking cable designed for short-run connections where maximum throughput, low latency and robust shielding are required. Compliant with the Cat8.1 specification, this 1.5 meter cable uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference while supporting high-speed data transfer up to 40000 Mbit/s. Its red jacket provides quick visual identification within racks and desktop setups.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference, improving link stability in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and resist corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over time. The short 1.5 m length reduces unnecessary cable slack and signal attenuation for point-to-point connections. Compliance with Cat8.1 performance parameters enables use with modern high-bandwidth equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• Direct device connections in home or office networks requiring minimal cable length
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Temporary or permanent setups where color-coded cabling simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking equipment until the latch clicks into place. Use the 1.5 m length for short-distance links such as switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or switch-to-patch-panel connections. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not bent sharply near the ends; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. If routing through cable management or panels, avoid tight compression and maintain separation from high-voltage power cabling where possible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable in shielded environments and pair it with compatible shielded ports and properly grounded patch panels or chassis. Regularly inspect connector contacts and the jacket for damage; replace the cable if shielding or connectors are compromised. Select the red color to simplify cable identification in multi-run installations.
