Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-050G Green 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP

The Alcasa 8080-050G Green 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP networking cable by Good Connections is a high-performance Ethernet lead designed for demanding data environments. Built to the Cat8.1 standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this 5 meter cable supports data transfer speeds up to 40000 Mbit/s and is suitable for short-run, high-bandwidth links between network equipment in server rooms, workstations, and professional AV setups. The green jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually braided and foil-shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and resist corrosion for longer service life. The Cat8.1 specification supports very high frequencies and throughput, enabling reliable performance for 25/40 Gbit/s applications over the cable's 5 m length.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 25 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s links in data centers and server racks
• High-bandwidth connections between switches, routers, and network appliances
• Professional AV and broadcast setups requiring low-latency, high-throughput cabling
• Home or small office networks where color-coded cabling simplifies organization

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Alcasa Cat8.1 cable to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, router, or server. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For best performance maintain the cable length within the specified 5 m and avoid sharp bends or kinks; keep the cable routed away from high-power electrical lines and sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal throughput, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short, high-bandwidth links (up to 5 m). Periodically inspect connector contacts for debris and ensure secure seating. When organizing multiple cables, label both ends and use cable management to prevent strain on connectors.
