Networking cable Alcasa 8080-150R Red 15 m Cat8.1 S/FTP

The Alcasa 8080-150R Red 15 m Cat8.1 S/FTP is a network patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with the Cat8.1 standard and equipped with S/FTP shielding, this 15 m cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to ensure reliable contact and reduced corrosion. Its red jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments and helps separate connections by function or priority.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, improving protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance signal transmission and maintain low contact resistance. The 15 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-workstation or patch-panel-to-device connections without requiring additional couplers. The Cat8.1 specification ensures compatibility with high-bandwidth applications and supports future-proofing of local network segments where maximum throughput and low latency are required.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Direct connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Workstation or desktop connections requiring stable wired performance
• Environments where cable color coding simplifies maintenance and organization

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 15 m
• Color: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or network interface card and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or tight coils in the cable and keep the cable routed away from heavy-power lines or large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use the Alcasa 8080-150R in horizontal or rack-level connections where high bandwidth and shielding are required. Maintain bend radius recommendations from standard cabling practices and avoid stretching the cable. When deploying in dense cable bundles, ensure proper separation from unshielded power conductors to preserve S/FTP effectiveness.
