The **A-MCSSP60050-R** is a specific electronic hardware component, typically identified as a high-quality **Modular Plug (RJ45)** designed for networking applications. It is manufactured by **ASSMANN WSW Components**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications, construction, and applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Modular Plug / RJ45 Connector | | **Position/Contacts** | 8P8C (8 Positions, 8 Contacts) | | **Shielding** | Shielded (Metal Shell) | | **Mounting Type** | Cable Mount (IDC - Insulation Displacement Contact) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (typically 50µ") | | **Cable Type** | Round Cable (Cat6 / Cat6a compatible) | | **Orientation** | Straight | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. Shielding (The "S" in the Part Number) The "S" in the series designation indicates that this connector is **shielded**. The outer metal casing protects the data signal from **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)**. This is critical for high-speed data transmission in environments with high electrical noise. #### B. Contact Plating The contacts are plated with gold (usually 50 micro-inches). Gold is used because it provides: * Excellent conductivity. * Superior corrosion resistance (prevents oxidation over time). * Stable signal integrity over hundreds of mating cycles. #### C. Cat6 Performance This part is designed to meet **Category 6 (Cat6)** standards. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) and is engineered to reduce "Crosstalk" (interference between wire pairs within the cable). #### D. Strain Relief compatibility The "R" suffix often refers to the packaging or a specific revision involving the boot/latch design, ensuring the cable remains securely attached even under physical tension. --- ### 3. Material Composition | Part | Material | | :--- | :--- | | **Housing** | Polycarbonate (Clear), UL 94V-2 rated | | **Contacts** | Phosphor Bronze | | **Shield** | Copper Alloy with Nickel Plating | --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Networking Infrastructure:** Patch cords for server rooms and data centers. * **Industrial Ethernet:** Connecting machinery where EMI shielding is required. * **Telecommunications:** High-speed broadband hardware. * **Custom Cables:** Creating specific length Ethernet cables for specialized AV or IT setups. ---
