The **A-MCSP-80005-R-R** is a specific networking component manufactured by **ASSMANN WSW Components**. It belongs to the category of modular networking cables, specifically a pre-terminated patch cord. ### 1. General Specifications Below is a breakdown of the technical characteristics of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | A-MCSP-80005-R-R | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 Male to RJ45 Male | | **Cable Category** | Cat6 (Category 6) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Length** | 0.5 Meters (Approx. 1.64 feet) | | **Color** | Red | | **Jacket Material** | PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) variants | --- ### 2. Electronic & Structural Components The "Electronic" functionality of this part is defined by its physical construction, which allows for high-speed data transmission with minimal interference. #### A. The Shielding (S/FTP) The **S/FTP** designation is the most critical electronic feature of this cable: * **Outer Shield:** A global braided shield covers all four pairs. * **Inner Shield:** Each individual twisted pair is wrapped in its own foil screen. * **Function:** This provides maximum protection against **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Crosstalk**, making it suitable for environments with high electrical noise (like server rooms or industrial floors). #### B. Twisted Pair Wiring * The cable contains 8 copper conductors twisted into 4 pairs. * The twisting is precisely calculated to cancel out electromagnetic interference from adjacent pairs and external sources. #### C. Connector Gold Plating * The RJ45 plugs feature internal contacts typically plated with **50µ" (microns) of gold**. * **Purpose:** Gold prevents oxidation and ensures low contact resistance, maintaining signal integrity over thousands of insertion cycles. #### D. Performance Rating * **Bandwidth:** Supports frequencies up to **250 MHz**. * **Data Rate:** Capable of handling **10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)** and is often used for 10GBASE-T over short distances. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases Due to its short length (0.5m) and high shielding, this part is primarily used for: 1. **High-Density Patching:** Connecting a network switch to a patch panel within the same rack. 2. **Industrial Environments:** Where motors or power cables might cause interference with unshielded cables. 3. **Data Centers:** For clean, high-speed routing between adjacent hardware units.
