Networking Cable Alcasa 20m Cat5e Grey SF/UTP

The Networking Cable Alcasa 20m Cat5e Grey SF/UTP by Good Connections is a 20-metre Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in home and small office environments. This Cat5e cable uses SF/UTP shielding (braid plus foil) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play compatibility with routers, switches, modems and network devices. The grey outer jacket provides neutral aesthetics while the cable length supports flexible placement of equipment across rooms or workspaces.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction improves signal integrity in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment or other cables. Cat5e performance supports reliable data transfer for typical broadband and local network traffic, while factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and easy installation. The 20 m length allows longer runs without immediate need for repeaters or additional switches in many home and small office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and network printers to a router or switch
• Home network backbone runs where moderate shielding is desired
• Small office workstations and meeting room AV connections
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 20 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (suitable for up to 1000 Mbps in typical conditions)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braid + foil shielding around pairs with unshielded pairs inside)
• Length: 20 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, factory terminated
• Colour: Grey outer jacket
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it between devices avoiding tight bends and kinks. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the LAN port of your router, switch or modem and the other connector into the network port of the target device. For wall or ceiling routing, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal quality. If running near power lines or strong sources of interference, position the cable to maximize separation or use conduit as required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep runs under the recommended maximum for Ethernet without repeaters, and test connections after installation with a network tester or by verifying link/activity LEDs on connected devices.
