The **A-MCSSP60300G-R** is a high-performance, shielded **Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable** (often referred to as a "patch cord") manufactured by **Assmann WSW Components**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and physical specifications. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Category** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding Type** | S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **Length** | 3.0 Meters (approx. 9.8 feet) | | **Color** | Green | | **Wire Gauge** | 27 AWG | | **Jacket Material** | LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) | | **Frequency Support** | Up to 250 MHz | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components & Features ### A. S/FTP Shielding Architecture The "S/FTP" designation is the most critical electronic feature of this part: * **Individual Foil Shielding:** Each of the four twisted pairs is wrapped in aluminum foil. This minimizes **Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT)** between the internal pairs. * **Outer Braid Shielding:** An overall wire braid surrounds all pairs. This provides superior protection against **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)** from external sources. ### B. Gold-Plated Contacts The RJ45 connectors feature gold-plated contact pins (typically 50μ"). Gold is used because: * It is highly conductive. * It is resistant to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring a stable electronic connection over thousands of insertion cycles. ### C. LSZH Jacket (Safety Compliance) The cable uses a **Low Smoke Zero Halogen** jacket. In the event of a fire or overheating: * It emits limited smoke. * It produces no toxic halide gases, making it safer for use in poorly ventilated areas or data centers. ### D. 27 AWG Stranded Copper The internal conductors are 27 AWG stranded copper. Stranded wire offers higher flexibility than solid core wire, making it ideal for "patching" between servers and switches without the risk of internal wire breakage due to bending. --- ## 3. Performance Standards The A-MCSSP60300G-R is designed to meet the following electronic standards: * **Gigabit Ethernet:** Supports 1000Base-T speeds. * **PoE (Power over Ethernet):** Suitable for basic PoE applications, though the 27 AWG thickness is better suited for standard data transmission than high-wattage power delivery over long distances. * **ANSI/TIA-568-C.2:** Complies with standard telecommunications cabling requirements. ---
