Based on the part number **A-MCSSP60150-R-R**, this component is a high-performance **Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable** (often associated with manufacturers like Assmann WSW Components). It is designed for high-speed networking environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection is critical. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electronic and physical characteristics of the cable: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Cable Type** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) with 50µ" gold plating | | **Length** | 1.5 Meters (approx. 5 feet) | | **Wire Gauge** | 26 AWG (Stranded Copper) | | **Frequency Rating** | Up to 250 MHz | | **Color** | Red (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | | **Jacket Material** | LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) | --- ### 2. Electronic Component Breakdown #### A. S/FTP Shielding Structure The "Electronic" protection of this cable relies on its dual-layer shielding: * **Individual Foil Shield:** Each of the 4 twisted pairs is wrapped in aluminum foil. This prevents "alien crosstalk" between pairs within the same cable. * **Overall Braid Shield:** A tinned copper braid surrounds all pairs. This acts as a Faraday cage, protecting the data signals from external RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI. #### B. High-Frequency Performance As a **Cat6** component, the cable is engineered to handle data rates up to **10Gbps** (over short distances) and is standardized for **1Gbps** at 250 MHz. The precision of the twists in the copper wires ensures minimal signal attenuation and return loss. #### C. Contact Integrity The RJ45 connectors feature **50-micron gold plating** on the contact pins. This is crucial for: 1. **Oxidation Resistance:** Preventing rust and corrosion over time. 2. **Conductivity:** Ensuring the lowest possible resistance for the electronic signal pulse. --- ### 3. Safety and Environmental Standards * **LSZH Jacket:** In the event of a fire, this material emits limited smoke and no toxic halogens, protecting sensitive electronic hardware from corrosive gases. * **RoHS Compliant:** The part is manufactured without hazardous substances like lead or cadmium.
