Netwerkkabel Alcasa Cat. 7 S/FTP RJ-45 5 m grijs

The Alcasa Cat. 7 S/FTP RJ-45 5m Grey networking cable provides a shielded, high-bandwidth connection designed for demanding wired networks. Supporting data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and built on 10GBase-T cabling technology, this 5 metre cable features RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The S/FTP shielding (overall screen plus individually shielded pairs) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making the cable suitable for installations where signal integrity is important. The grey outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into residential or professional environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction delivers enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference compared with unshielded alternatives, which helps maintain stable 10 Gbit/s connections over short to medium distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and lower the risk of connection degradation over time. The 5 m length balances convenience and minimal excess cable for tidy routing in home offices, server cabinets or multimedia installations. Compatibility with 10GBase-T devices and backward compatibility with lower Ethernet standards provides versatility across network equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN links between switches, patch panels and networked devices
• Home or small office networks requiring 10 Gbit/s performance
• Connecting NAS, servers or desktop workstations to a 10G-capable switch
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Maximum supported data rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall shield plus individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 5 m
• Outer colour: Grey

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid tight bends and kinks along the cable path; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve performance. For installations near sources of strong electromagnetic noise, orient the cable and connectors to minimise parallel runs with power cables. Verify the link speed and duplex settings on both ends after connection; most modern devices will negotiate 10 Gbit/s automatically when both link partners and the network infrastructure support it.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable length within recommended limits for 10GBase-T, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances, and use shielded patch panels and properly grounded equipment where the S/FTP shielding can be fully effective.
