Networking Cable Alcasa 8064-H500 50m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Alcasa 8064-H500 50m Cat6a S/FTP Grey is a bulk network cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed for 10GBase-T applications, the cable combines Category 6a performance with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk over longer runs. Supplied in a 50 m length and finished in grey, it is intended for installation in residential, commercial and server-room environments where reliable 10 Gbit/s-capable links are required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually screened pairs) provides improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting more stable throughput at higher frequencies. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 compatible connectors and gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. Its Cat6a specification supports 10GBase-T cabling technology and is suitable for modern IP networking, VoIP, and data centre edge connections. The grey sheath offers a neutral appearance that integrates with typical cabling runs and patching layouts.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T Ethernet backbones and horizontal runs up to 50 m
• Office network cabling and workstation connections
• Home networks requiring higher-than-Gigabit throughput for media streaming and large file transfers
• Small server rooms, network closets and edge device connections

How to use

Plan the cable route before installation to avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling tension and proximity to strong electromagnetic sources such as mains transformers or large motors. Cut the required length from the 50 m reel and strip the outer jacket following standard cabling practice, maintain pair integrity and follow the selected wiring standard (T568A or T568B) when terminating with RJ-45 plugs or patch panels. Test each run with an appropriate network cable tester to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance up to 10GBase-T where required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep individual cable runs within recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet segments, avoid bundling large numbers of shielded and unshielded cables together without proper grounding, and ensure shield terminations are correctly implemented at patch panels or connectors when using S/FTP cable.
