Based on the part number **Y-CONC-R42CU-RJ6M-2000-B**, this is a high-performance industrial networking cable assembly, typically associated with **Yamaichi Electronics**. It is part of the Y-Con series, which is designed for harsh industrial environments. ### Component Specifications Breakdown | Feature | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | Y-Con (Industrial RJ45) | Designed for Industrial Ethernet applications. | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (Cat 6) | High-speed data transmission connector. | | **Housing Style** | R42 (Metal Shell) | Robust zinc die-cast or metal-shielded housing for EMI protection. | | **Cable Type** | CU (Copper) | Standard copper conductor wiring. | | **Pin Configuration** | RJ6M | 6-pin/8-pin configuration (modular). | | **Cable Length** | 2000 mm | 2.0 Meters total length. | | **Protection Class** | IP20 / IP67 | Depending on the specific jack mating, it often supports IP67 sealing. | --- ### Key Technical Attributes #### 1. Signal Integrity (Cat 6) The "RJ6" designation indicates compliance with **Category 6** standards. This allows for data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is optimized for frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is backward compatible with Cat 5e. #### 2. Industrial Shielding (EMI/RFI) The **CU** and **R42** indicators point toward advanced shielding. In industrial settings, electromagnetic interference (EMI) from motors and heavy machinery can disrupt data; this part uses a 360° metal shielding system to prevent signal loss. #### 3. Durability and Mechanics * **Vibration Resistance:** The Y-Con series is famous for its integrated locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection due to high vibration. * **Power over Ethernet (PoE):** This specific series often includes additional power contacts (integrated power) to allow the cable to provide DC power alongside data. #### 4. Environment Suitability Designed for the factory floor, the outer jacket is typically resistant to: * Oil and chemicals. * Extreme temperatures. * Mechanical stress (bending/torsion). --- ### Typical Applications * **Factory Automation:** Connecting PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to HMIs. * **Robotics:** High-flex applications where standard RJ45 connectors would fail. * **Industrial Vision:** Connecting high-speed cameras for quality control. ---
