The **A-MCSSP60030-R** is a specific networking component, typically identified as a **Shielded Cat6 RJ45 Patch Cable** (often manufactured by Assmann WSW Components). Below is a breakdown of its electronic and physical specifications. --- ## Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **Category** | Cat6 (Gigabit Ethernet) | | **Shielding Type** | S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Cable Length** | 3.0 Meters | | **Color** | Red | | **Wire Gauge** | 26 AWG | | **Frequency** | Up to 250 MHz | | **Contact Plating** | Gold Plated | --- ## Key Electronic Parts and Design ### 1. Conductors (26 AWG) The internal wiring consists of 8 stranded copper wires. The **26 AWG** (American Wire Gauge) thickness is standard for patch cables, providing a balance between flexibility and electrical conductivity for signal integrity over 3 meters. ### 2. S/FTP Shielding This is a critical "electronic part" of the cable's construction: * **Screened (S):** An overall outer braid protects the entire cable from External Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). * **Foiled (FTP):** Each individual pair of wires is wrapped in foil to prevent **Crosstalk** (interference between the internal wire pairs). ### 3. RJ45 Connectors with Gold Plating The ends feature 8P8C modular plugs. The contacts are typically plated with **50 micro-inches of gold**. This is electronically significant because: * It prevents corrosion/oxidation over time. * It ensures the lowest possible contact resistance for high-speed data packets. ### 4. Molded Strain Relief (Snagless) The "R" in the suffix often denotes the color (Red), and the physical housing includes a molded boot. This protects the delicate copper-to-contact termination points from mechanical stress, which could otherwise increase electrical impedance or cause signal "jitter." --- ## Performance Capabilities * **Data Rate:** Supports up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). * **PoE Compatibility:** Suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, though heat dissipation should be monitored in high-density bundles due to the 26 AWG wire size.
