The **A-MCSSP60070-R-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **Modular Shielded Patch Cords** (RJ45 Ethernet cables). These components are critical in networking infrastructure for connecting end-devices to patch panels or switches. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part follows standard telecommunication requirements for high-speed data transmission. | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **Category** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding Type** | S/FTP or SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) | | **Wire Gauge** | 26 AWG - 28 AWG (Stranded Copper) | | **Contact Plating** | 50μ" Gold Plating (High conductivity/Corrosion resistance) | | **Jacket Material** | PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) | | **Performance** | Up to 250 MHz | | **Configuration** | Straight-through (T568B/T568A) | --- ## 2. Key Component Features ### A. Shielding (The "S" in MCSSP) The "S" indicates that this part is **Shielded**. * **EMI Protection:** It uses an internal foil or braid to protect data signals from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). * **Grounding:** The RJ45 connectors have a metal housing (crimp) that connects the cable shield to the equipment ground. ### B. Contact Integrity * **Gold Plating:** The 50-micron gold plating on the pins prevents oxidation over time, ensuring a stable electronic connection even in humid environments. * **Stranded Conductors:** Unlike solid core wires, the internal wires are stranded, providing flexibility and preventing internal metal fatigue from repeated bending. ### C. Category 6 Performance * Designed to handle Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T). * Maintains strict Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss parameters to ensure data packets are not dropped. --- ## 3. Part Number Decoder (Typical) While manufacturers vary slightly, the nomenclature usually breaks down as follows: * **A:** ASSMANN WSW Components (Common manufacturer for this prefix). * **MCS:** Modular Connector System. * **SP:** Shielded Patch. * **60070:** Length and Color code (e.g., 0.7 meters or 7.0 meters depending on the internal catalog). * **R-R:** RoHS Compliant / Revision code. --- ## 4. Application Environments Due to its shielded nature, this part is used in: 1. **Server Rooms:** High-density racks where cables are bundled closely. 2. **Industrial Floors:** Near motors or heavy machinery that generate electrical noise. 3. **Medical Facilities:** Environments requiring high signal integrity for diagnostic data. ---
