Networking Cable Alcasa 8080-200Y Yellow 20m Cat8.1 S/FTP

The Alcasa 8080-200Y Yellow 20m Cat8.1 S/FTP networking cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for demanding wired network environments. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications and featuring S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction, it provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a 20 m length suitable for linking devices across rooms or within rack setups. Its yellow jacket makes cable routing and identification straightforward in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around individual pairs and an overall braid reduces signal degradation and supports stable high-frequency transmission. The Cat8.1 category supports very high data rates and improved bandwidth compared with lower category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance over time. The 20 m length balances reach and signal integrity for home offices, server rooms, and professional installations while the colored jacket simplifies cable management and visual tracing.

Suitable for

• High-speed wired connections for switches, routers and network appliances
• Server room and data center uplinks and patching within racks
• Home or office setups requiring long, clearly visible cable runs
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Length: 20 m
• Color: Yellow
• Maximum supported transfer rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s (as specified)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your source device (switch, router or NIC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For wall or rack installations, use appropriate cable management clips or trays to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain a minimum bend radius as recommended for Cat8 cabling. Use the yellow color to label and separate runs in multi-cable environments. If using in high-density rack installations, keep shield terminations consistent and ground shields according to site grounding practices to maintain EMI protection.
