The **A-MCSSP60300-B-R** is a specific networking component, typically identified as a **Shielded Cat6 Patch Cable** (often associated with manufacturers like ASSMANN WSW Components). It is designed for high-speed data transmission in environments with electromagnetic interference. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Cable Type** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Length** | 3.0 Meters | | **Color** | Black | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **Boot Type** | Snagless / Molded Strain Relief | | **Contact Plating** | Gold Plating (typically 3µ" to 50µ") | --- ### 2. Electronic & Structural Components #### A. Internal Wiring (Conductors) * **Gauge:** Usually 26 AWG or 27 AWG stranded copper. Stranded wire is used instead of solid wire to ensure flexibility for patch cords. * **Twisted Pairs:** 4 pairs of wires twisted at specific intervals to reduce **crosstalk** (signal bleeding between pairs). #### B. Shielding Mechanism (S/FTP) This part is crucial for the "S" (Shielded) designation: * **Individual Foil:** Each of the four pairs is wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent internal crosstalk. * **Overall Braid:** An outer tinned copper braid surrounds all pairs to protect against external **EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)** and **RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)**. #### C. Connectors (RJ45) * **Housing:** Clear polycarbonate plastic. * **Shielding:** The connector has a metal shell (usually nickel-plated) that connects the cable's braid to the grounded port of the switch or patch panel. * **Contacts:** Gold-plated copper alloy pins ensure high conductivity and prevent corrosion over time. --- ### 3. Performance Standards * **Bandwidth:** Rated for up to **250 MHz**. * **Data Rate:** Supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T (up to 55 meters). * **Compliance:** Usually meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and TIA/EIA 568-B standards. --- ### 4. Application Use-Cases * **High-Density Racks:** Where many cables are bundled together and interference is high. * **Industrial Environments:** Near heavy machinery or power lines that generate electrical noise. * **Data Centers:** For reliable server-to-switch connections.
