Networking Cable Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 0.25m Red

The Alcasa Cat. 6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 0.25m Red is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in networked environments. It uses category 6 wiring and S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends terminate in gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain stable contact and signal integrity over frequent plug cycles. The compact 0.25 m length is intended for neat, short-distance connections in racks, switches, patch panels or workstation setups where minimal slack is required. The red jacket provides fast visual identification in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain consistent throughput. Category 6 specification supports higher frequencies and data rates suitable for gigabit Ethernet and many modern network applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance corrosion resistance and contact reliability, while the short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and signal reflections in short links. The red outer sheath allows for easy colour-coded organization of network runs.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between network devices in racks and patch panels
• Connecting a switch to a nearby server or desktop
• Color-coded cable runs for identification in structured cabling
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to limit electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (Shielded overall with Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.25 m
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring correct orientation and a secure click-in of the latch. Use this cable for direct short-length links where devices are in close proximity; avoid stretching the cable or bending it sharply near the connector boots. For installations within racks or patch panels, route the cable to prevent undue strain and to maintain neat cable management. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or deformation and replace the cable if connectors show wear that affects contact.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat 6 S/FTP cable in shielded or properly grounded installations to maximise interference protection. Avoid running the cable in parallel alongside high-voltage power lines. Choose the 0.25 m length when a short, tidy connection is needed; for longer runs select an appropriately longer Cat 6 cable.
