The **UDS-C6-R** is a high-performance, shielded RJ45 field termination plug, typically categorized under Category 6 (Cat6) or Category 6A (Cat6A) specifications. These connectors are designed for industrial networking, IP surveillance, and high-bandwidth data environments where field assembly is required. --- ### 1. Key Electronic & Physical Specifications The electronic integrity of the UDS-C6-R relies on its internal PCB and gold-plated contact points to ensure minimal signal loss. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Transmission Speed** | 1 Gbps (Cat6) / up to 10 Gbps (Cat6A) | | **Bandwidth** | 250 MHz to 500 MHz | | **Contact Plating** | 50μ" Gold over Nickel | | **Shielding Type** | Fully Shielded (Zinc Alloy Die-Cast Housing) | | **Wire Gauge Support** | 23 AWG to 26 AWG (Solid or Stranded) | | **Termination Type** | Toolless IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) | --- ### 2. Core Electronic Components #### A. Die-Cast Metal Housing The outer shell is usually made of a **Zinc Alloy**. This acts as a "Faraday Cage," protecting the internal electronic signals from **EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)** and **RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)**. This is crucial in industrial settings where power cables might run parallel to data lines. #### B. Internal PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Unlike standard crimp-on RJ45 plugs, the UDS-C6-R contains a small internal PCB. This board is engineered to: * Balance **Crosstalk (NEXT)** between wire pairs. * Maintain impedance at a steady **100 Ohms**. * Compensate for signal degradation caused by the untwisting of wires during termination. #### C. IDC (Insulation Displacement Contacts) The electronic connection to the copper wire is made via IDC blocks. * **Phosphor Bronze Construction:** Provides high conductivity and spring-back tension. * **Gas-Tight Connection:** When the wire is pressed into the V-shaped contact, it cuts the insulation and creates a cold-weld, gas-tight seal that prevents oxidation. #### D. Gold-Plated Pins The 8-position pins are plated with **50 micro-inches of gold**. This thickness is the industry standard for high-cycle durability (repeated plugging/unplugging) and prevents the corrosion that leads to data packet loss. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases * **PoE+ / PoE++ (Power over Ethernet):** Due to the high-quality metal construction and thick gauge support, it handles the heat dissipation required for 60W-90W PoE applications better than plastic plugs. * **HDBaseT:** Used in professional AV setups for transmitting uncompressed 4K video. * **Industrial Ethernet:** Connecting PLCs and IP cameras in noisy electrical environments.
