The **M6SWVS-H6-R/UL** is a specific technical part number typically associated with high-density, modular connectivity solutions, most notably within the realm of **Ethernet Keystone Jacks** or **Modular Inserts** used in structured cabling systems. Below is a breakdown of its technical characteristics and electronic components. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number generally identifies a **Category 6 (Cat6) Shielded Keystone Jack**. Here are the primary electronic and mechanical attributes: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Category Rating** | Cat6 (Gigabit Ethernet) | | **Shielding Type** | Shielded (STP/FTP) - Metal Housing | | **Orientation** | 180-Degree (Top-entry or straight-back) | | **Contact Plating** | 50μ Gold Plating over Nickel | | **Termination Type** | Toolless or 110-IDC Punch Down | | **Safety Certification** | UL Listed (Underwriters Laboratories) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (-R suffix) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components ### A. The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Inside the jack is a miniaturized PCB. Its primary function is to manage **Crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT)**. Because high-speed data (up to 250 MHz) creates electromagnetic interference between copper pairs, the PCB uses specific trace patterns to cancel out noise and ensure signal integrity. ### B. Gold-Plated Contacts (Pins) The RJ45 interface contains 8 contacts. * **Material:** Phosphor Bronze. * **Plating:** 50 micro-inches of gold. This prevents oxidation and ensures a low-resistance connection over thousands of insertion cycles. ### C. IDC (Insulation Displacement Contacts) These are the V-shaped metal "teeth" where the building's horizontal cable (solid copper) is terminated. * They pierce the plastic insulation of the wire to create a gas-tight electronic connection without needing to strip the wires manually. ### D. Shielding (The Outer Shell) The "S" in the part number usually denotes **Shielded**. * **Material:** Die-cast zinc alloy or nickel-plated brass. * **Function:** It acts as a Faraday cage, protecting the internal data signals from External Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Alien Crosstalk (AXT). --- ## 3. Compliance and Standards * **UL Listed:** The `/UL` suffix indicates the part has passed rigorous fire and electrical safety tests, ensuring the plastic components are flame-retardant (typically UL 94V-0 rated). * **TIA/EIA 568-C.2:** Meets the electrical performance requirements for Category 6 cabling. ---
