Why does CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module use gold-plated pins?

1. Gold-plated pins improve electrical performance
In network connections, the conductivity of the pins directly affects the stability and speed of data transmission. Gold is an excellent conductive material that provides extremely low resistance, making the current conduction smoother at the connection. CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module uses gold-plated pins to ensure better conductivity. This is especially important for high-frequency data transmission, because during high-speed transmission, excessive contact resistance may cause signal attenuation, data packet loss, and even connection interruption.

2. Gold-plated pins improve corrosion resistance
Over time, metal materials may corrode due to oxidation or other chemical reactions. For network connection components, corrosion can cause poor contact and obstruction of current flow, thereby affecting the stability of network connections. Gold has excellent corrosion resistance and hardly oxidizes or rusts in the air. Therefore, CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module uses gold plating on its pins to effectively avoid poor electrical contact problems caused by corrosion.

3. Gold-plated pins improve durability and plug-in times
Gold-plated pins show excellent durability in frequent plug-in and plug-out scenarios. Network equipment connections usually require multiple plug-in and plug-out operations, especially during network installation, maintenance or replacement. If the pin material is not durable enough, problems such as poor contact and signal loss may occur after long-term use. However, gold plating has high wear resistance and durability, and can maintain its surface integrity and conductivity even after multiple plug-ins.

CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module uses gold-plated pins to ensure that the module can maintain stable electrical connection and signal transmission even in an environment with frequent plug-in and plug-out. This design greatly improves the service life of the equipment, avoids network failures caused by metal fatigue, and ensures stability in long-term use.

4. Gold-plated pins ensure connection stability and reliability
The stability of network connections depends not only on the transmission medium, but also on the quality of the connection points. Gold-plated pins have very low contact resistance, which minimizes interference and loss during signal transmission. This is crucial for CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module, especially in high-speed data transmission and high-frequency applications, where any minor connection problems may lead to network instability.

Gold-plated pins ensure low loss and high efficiency during signal transmission, ensuring that the module can maintain a stable connection in a high-speed, high-load network environment. Whether in a data center, a high-frequency enterprise network, or a home network, the excellent electrical properties of gold plating can effectively avoid the problem of unstable connection and improve the reliability of the entire system.

5. Advantages of gold-plated pins in environmental adaptability
CAT6/CAT6a Unshielded LED Light Module is widely used in a variety of network environments, from high-temperature, high-humidity industrial environments to home or office environments with large temperature changes. Gold plating not only improves the conductivity of the pins, but also enhances their adaptability to environmental changes. The oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of gold enable the module to work stably under various harsh conditions without being easily affected by moisture, oxides or other harmful substances in the air.
