25m Green 6 Pole Cable

Flat 6 core cables supplied with the iZone Systems are of the flat type as specified below

Diagram:

1. RJ12 Connector: 6 position 6 contact (6P6C)

Connectors

The modular connectors on the Flat 6 core cables shall be 6 position 6 contact (6P6C) with the pin-out configuration being as follows:

1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6

The physical dimensions of the male and female connectors shall be as per ANSI/TIA-1096-A and ISO-8877 standards. Typically the contact spacing is always 1.02 mm (centre to centre)

Contacts on 6P6C Modular connector plug and jack contacts

Gold Surface Layer

The gold surface layer in the specified contact interface area shall meet the following requirements:

1. The material content shall be 99% pure gold minimum.
2. The material density shall be 17 grams/cm3 minimum.
3. The minimum gold thickness in the specified interface area shall be 1.2700 μm (50 μin)
4. The Knoop micro-indention hardness value shall be between 130 and 250 when measured in accordance with ASTM E384-05a using a load force of 0.245 N (25 g)
5. Test specimens shall exhibit no corrosion products having a diameter greater than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) when tested for porosity and other surface defects per EIA-364-53B.

Nickel Barrier Layer

A nickel barrier layer shall be used between the gold surface layer and the base metal. It shall meet the following requirements:

1. The material content shall be 99.5% pure nickel minimum, and no other single component shall be more than 0.2%.
2. The minimum nickel thickness shall be 1.2700 μm (50 μin).
3. The nickel barrier layer shall not crack when a contact sample is bent through a 180° angle, with the plated surface away, around a mandrel whose diameter is equal to the thickness or diameter of the contact sample.

1. The plug/jack contact interface shall be hard gold to hard gold and shall have a minimum gold thickness of 1.2700 μm (50 μin) on each side of the interface. Alternative contact material that is compatible with hard gold and provides equivalent contact performance may be used under certain conditions. The minimum contact force at the interface shall be 0.98 N (100 g). A smooth, burr-free surface shall exist at the interface in the area shown. Contact surface roughness shall be 0.8128 μm (32 μin) maximum. Compliance can be determined by observation with 10X magnification. Compare surface protrusions and burrs on the contact surface with a 32-μin, ground-surface-finish gauge.

2. The jack contact design is based upon 0.4572 mm (0.018 in) spring temper phosphor bronze round wire in the modular plug blade and jack contact interface. Other contact configurations that provide contact performance equal to or better than the preferred configurations and do not cause damage to the plug or jack are permitted. Contact width should be 0.44958/0.49530 mm (0.0177/0.0195 in). Deviations from the desirable jack contact width are permitted for round contacts as well as noncircular cross sectional shapes but they shall be compatible with existing plug configurations.
