Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

In a busy data center, a network engineer replaces an aging Cat6a patch cord with the GoodConnections Alcasa 8080L-200. The 20-meter grey cable snakes neatly between a top-of-rack switch and a high-throughput server, locking into place with gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Instantly, the link negotiates at 40 Gbit/s, and latency-sensitive applications respond without a hitch.

Key specifications

  • Length: 20 m
  • Category: Cat8.1 (Category 8.1)
  • Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP) – screened and foiled twisted pairs
  • Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated contacts
  • Data transfer rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
  • Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
  • Conductor material: copper
  • Colour: grey
  • Compliance: TIA/EIA-568-C.2-1, ISO/IEC 11801

Why choose it

This patch cable delivers headroom for the most demanding Ethernet environments. The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided screen with individual foil shielding on each pair, effectively blocking alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over thousands of mating cycles. With a 2000 MHz bandwidth, it comfortably supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links up to 30 meters, making it a future-proof investment for high-speed networking.

Ideal use cases

  • Data centers and server rooms requiring 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet
  • High-performance workstation connections for video editing or 3D rendering
  • Backbone links between switches and patch panels in enterprise networks
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to the cable's rating

Good to know

The cable is built with solid copper conductors for superior conductivity and long-term reliability. Its grey jacket is easy to identify in crowded racks and blends with standard cable management. While Cat8.1 is backward compatible with lower categories, its full 40 Gbit/s capability is realized with compatible Cat8.1 equipment. The 20-meter length offers flexibility for runs between adjacent racks or across a server room without excess slack.
