Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-050Y Yellow 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP

The Alcasa 8080-050Y Yellow 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP networking cable by Good Connections is a 5 metre Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired networks. Built to Cat8.1 standard with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, the cable supports very high data rates and stable signal transmission in short-range, high-performance network environments. Its yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels, server rooms or home installations.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 S/FTP cable delivers shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity at high throughput. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer reliable contact resistance and corrosion resistance for consistent connectivity. The 5 m length covers common patching distances between equipment while the flexible jacket simplifies routing in tight spaces. The yellow color aids cable management by making the cable easy to trace among other lines.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in data centers and server rooms
• Direct connections between switches, routers, and high-performance network interfaces
• Home networks requiring future-proofed wiring for demanding applications
• Patch cabling where clear visual identification is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall with foil on twisted pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow
• Designed for high-frequency, short-range Ethernet links

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Alcasa 8080-050Y to the Ethernet port of a switch, router, NIC or other network device and insert the other end into the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. For rack installations use appropriate cable management to prevent stress on the connectors and maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links and patching in controlled environments. Avoid extended outdoor exposure or repeated heavy mechanical strain; inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding or the jacket is compromised.
