The part number **A-MCSSP60010R-R** typically refers to a specialized **Category 6 (Cat6) Shielded Slim Patch Cable**. These are common in high-density networking environments where space and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection are critical. --- ### ## Technical Specifications Breakdown The following table outlines the core electronic and physical attributes of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Category** | Cat6 (Gigabit Ethernet) | | **Shielding Type** | S/FTP or U/FTP (Shielded) | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 Male to Male | | **Gauge (AWG)** | 28 AWG or 30 AWG (Slim design) | | **Length** | Typically 1.0 Meter (indicated by "010") | | **Color** | Red (indicated by "R" suffix) | | **Bandwidth** | Up to 250 MHz | | **Jacket Material** | LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or PVC | --- ### ### Key Electronic Components #### 1. The Conductor (Twisted Pairs) Unlike standard Ethernet cables that use 24 AWG wire, the "Slim" designation indicates a thinner **28 AWG or 30 AWG stranded copper conductor**. * **Performance:** While thinner, it is still rated for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds over short distances. * **Flexibility:** The smaller gauge allows for a much tighter bend radius in cramped server racks. #### 2. Shielding (EMI Protection) The "S" in the series prefix denotes **Shielded** construction. This is vital for electronic integrity in environments with high noise. * **Outer Shield:** Usually a braided screen or foil that prevents external crosstalk. * **Individual Pair Shielding:** Reduces internal interference between the four twisted pairs. #### 3. Gold-Plated Contacts The RJ45 connectors feature **50-micron gold plating** on the pins. * **Conductivity:** Gold provides superior electrical conductivity compared to other metals. * **Oxidation Resistance:** Prevents the buildup of rust or corrosion over time, ensuring a stable electronic connection throughout the lifecycle of the cable. --- ### ### Applications * **High-Density Data Centers:** Where airflow is restricted by thick cabling. * **PoE (Power over Ethernet):** Note that due to the thinner 28/30 AWG wire, these cables have higher resistance and are typically limited to lower-wattage PoE applications (Type 1 or 2) compared to standard 24 AWG cables. * **EMI Sensitive Areas:** Near power lines or heavy machinery where unshielded (UTP) cables would experience packet loss.
