The **A-MCSSP60070R-R** is a specific networking component, typically identified as a high-performance **Shielded RJ45 Modular Plug** designed for stranded or solid cables (often Cat6 or Cat6a). These are commonly manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. --- ## Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 Modular Plug | | **Number of Positions** | 8P8C (8 Positions, 8 Contacts) | | **Shielding** | Shielded (Metal Housing) | | **Cable Type** | Round Cable | | **Wire Gauge** | Typically 24-26 AWG | | **Contact Plating** | Gold over Nickel | | **Orientation** | Straight | | **Termination** | IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) | --- ## Key Components and Design ### 1. The Shielding (Metal Shell) The "S" in the part number often denotes **Shielded**. The outer metal casing protects the data signals from **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)**. This is crucial for high-speed data transmission (Gigabit Ethernet and above) in environments with high electrical noise. ### 2. Contact Design * **Gold Plating:** The pins are usually plated with 50 micro-inches of gold to prevent corrosion and ensure a low-resistance connection over the lifespan of the plug. * **3-Prong Blade:** Most high-end Assmann plugs use a 3-prong contact design, which allows the plug to be used with both **solid** and **stranded** copper wires effectively. ### 3. Housing Material The transparent body is typically made of **Polycarbonate (UL94V-2 or V-0)**, which provides flame retardancy and high impact resistance. --- ## Application and Usage These connectors are generally used in professional IT infrastructure and industrial networking: * **Patch Cable Assembly:** Used to create custom-length shielded patch cords. * **High-Speed Data:** Suitable for Category 6 (Cat6) applications requiring up to 250 MHz bandwidth. * **Industrial Environments:** The shielding makes them suitable for factory floors where heavy machinery might interfere with unshielded cables. --- ## Electrical Characteristics ```yaml Electrical_Properties: Voltage_Rating: 125 VAC RMS Current_Rating: 1.5 Amps Contact_Resistance: 20mΩ Max Insulation_Resistance: 500MΩ Min @ 500V DC Dielectric_Strength: 1000V AC RMS 50Hz/60Hz 1 min ``` ---
