## Technical Overview: A-MCSSP60200R-R The **A-MCSSP60200R-R** is a high-performance shielded industrial Ethernet cable assembly, typically belonging to the **ASSMANN WSW Components** product line. It is designed for high-speed data transmission in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a concern. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core electronic and physical characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) Male to Male | | **Cable Category** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding Type** | S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Conductor Gauge** | 26 AWG | | **Jacket Material** | PVC (Standard) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) | | **Length** | 20.0 Meters (approx. 65.6 feet) | | **Color** | Red | | **Data Rate Support** | Up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) | | **Frequency** | 250 MHz | --- ### 2. Detailed Component Breakdown #### A. Shielding Architecture (S/FTP) This is the most critical "electronic" aspect of the part. - **Individual Foiling:** Each of the four twisted pairs is wrapped in aluminum foil. This minimizes **Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT)** between the internal pairs. - **Outer Braid:** An overall tinned copper braid surrounds all pairs. This provides a path to ground, protecting the signal from external **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)**. #### B. The RJ45 Connectors - **Gold Plating:** The contact pins are typically plated with 50 micro-inches of gold. This ensures high conductivity and prevents oxidation over time, maintaining a low-resistance connection. - **Shielded Housing:** The connector body is encased in metal to maintain the continuity of the cable's shield from one device to the next. #### C. Wiring Configuration - **Twisted Pairs:** The internal wires are twisted at specific ratios to cancel out electromagnetic noise. - **Straight-Through:** This cable uses the standard EIA/TIA 568B wiring pinout for point-to-point networking. --- ### 3. Electronic Performance Benefits 1. **Signal Integrity:** Due to the Cat6 rating and S/FTP shielding, the cable maintains high signal-to-noise ratios over its 20m length. 2. **Reduced Attenuation:** The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide a balance between flexibility and low electrical resistance. 3. **High Bandwidth:** Support for 250 MHz allows for stable Gigabit Ethernet performance, even in electrically "noisy" industrial environments. ---
