The **A-MCSSP60100Y-R** is a specific technical component, typically identified as a **Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Patch Cable** or a related modular connectivity component (often associated with brands like ASSMANN WSW or specialized industrial suppliers). Below is the technical breakdown of its electronic and physical specifications. --- ## 1. Product Identification | Feature | Detail | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | A-MCSSP60100Y-R | | **Category** | Networking / Modular Cables | | **Type** | S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic & Physical Components ### A. Internal Wiring (The Core) * **Conductor Material:** Usually high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC). * **Gauge:** Typically **26 AWG** or **27 AWG** stranded wire, providing flexibility while maintaining electrical conductivity. * **Configuration:** 4 pairs of twisted wires. The twisting is a critical electronic feature that cancels out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources and crosstalk between neighboring pairs. ### B. Shielding (The Protection) The "S/FTP" designation refers to the multi-layer electronic shielding: 1. **Individual Pair Shielding:** Each of the four pairs is wrapped in aluminum foil. This prevents "Internal Crosstalk." 2. **Overall Braid:** A tinned copper braid surrounds all pairs. This acts as a Faraday cage, protecting the signal from high-frequency interference (RFI) and providing a ground path. ### C. Connectors and Contact Points * **Gold Plating:** The RJ45 pins are typically plated with **50μ (microns) of gold**. Gold is used because it does not oxidize, ensuring a low-resistance electronic connection over thousands of plug-in cycles. * **Shielded Housing:** The RJ45 plug itself has a metal shell that connects the cable's braid to the grounded port of the switch or router. --- ## 3. Performance Specifications The "60" in the part number often designates the category or length within specific manufacturer sequences (often **Category 6** or **6A**). | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Bandwidth** | Up to 250 MHz (Cat6) or 500 MHz (Cat6A) | | **Data Rate** | Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) up to 10 Gbps | | **Jacket Material** | LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or PVC | | **Color Code** | Yellow (Indicated by the "Y" in the suffix) | --- ## 4. Application Use Cases * **Industrial Environments:** High EMI areas where unshielded cables would suffer data loss. * **Server Racks:** High-density patching where cables are bundled closely together. * **PoE (Power over Ethernet):** The copper quality allows for the transmission of DC power alongside data for IP cameras or VoIP phones. ---
