Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP 3m Red

The Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP 3m Red networking cable from Good Connections is a 3 m Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transfer in home and office networks. It uses Cat 6 specifications with S/FTP (shielded with foil-wrapped pairs and an overall braid) construction and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for stable contact and reduced corrosion. The red jacket provides visual identification in cable runs and rack installations while the cable supports reliable wired connections between routers, switches, computers and other networked devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with electrical noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer consistent conductivity and resistance to oxidation for long-term reliability. At 3 meters length, the cable is long enough for typical desktop or rack-to-desk connections while remaining compact and easy to route. The red outer jacket aids organization by making the cable easy to identify among other network leads.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers or workstations to switches and routers
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment in small offices
• Home network connections for gaming consoles, smart TVs and NAS devices
• Environments where reduced interference is required, such as crowded office spaces

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair plus overall braid)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable to link routers, switches, patch panels, computers, gaming consoles or smart devices as required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves with a bend radius appropriate for Ethernet cabling. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to keep runs tidy and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment. When using multiple cables, label both ends to simplify maintenance. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show signs of wear.
