Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-100B 10m Cat8.1 S/FTP Blue

The Alcasa 8080-100B 10m Cat8.1 S/FTP Blue is a high-performance networking cable designed for demanding wired network environments. Compliant with the Cat8.1 standard and equipped with S/FTP shielding, this 10 meter cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Its blue jacket identifies the cable easily within installations and helps maintain organized cabling in server rooms, workstations, and home networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, enhancing signal stability over the full 10 m length. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and reduce contact resistance, while the Cat8.1 specification enables very high bandwidth suitable for modern high-speed networking equipment. The 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across larger desks, between racks, or across room layouts without the need for extensions.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, routers, and servers
• Workstation connections where low latency and high throughput are required
• Small server rooms and data closets with shielded cabling requirements
• Home networks and media setups requiring high bandwidth for streaming and gaming

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Standard: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router, or network interface card and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device. Ensure that connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible; maintain gentle curves with a bend radius recommended by your network equipment manufacturer. Confirm link status and negotiated speed on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the Alcasa 8080-100B in environments where shielded cabling is required or preferred. Avoid installing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep connection points dry and dust-free. Periodically inspect connectors for physical damage and ensure termination points are secure to maintain optimal data transfer rates.
