Networking Cable Alcasa 8060-SF250 25m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Networking Cable Alcasa 8060-SF250 25m Cat6a S/FTP Grey is a 25-metre Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a performance and fitted with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. The neutral grey jacket is suitable for offices, data cabinets and home network installations where a discreet appearance and reliable signal transmission are required.

Advantages

Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies and improved bandwidth compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over shorter runs and improved signal integrity. The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to minimise external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide low contact resistance and enhance long-term connection reliability. The 25 m length allows flexible placement between networked devices without intermediate adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and servers in office or small data-room environments
• High-speed workstations and media streaming setups requiring low interference
• Structured cabling segments in residential or commercial networks
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations where a 25 m run is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of the network device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and verify link/activity LEDs on network equipment to confirm a physical connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or tight coil storage; maintain gentle loops and keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power wiring.

Recommendations

For optimal throughput and reduced interference, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or mixed environments and terminate it with compatible RJ-45 ports. When running near power lines or in high-interference areas, allow separation from strong electrical sources and avoid bundling with multiple power conductors. Inspect connectors before installation and replace any cable showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
