The **A-MCSSP60050-G-R** is a modular networking component, specifically a shielded RJ45 plug designed for high-performance data cabling. It is commonly used in industrial and enterprise networking environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection is required. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Modular Plug (RJ45 / 8P8C) | | **Shielding** | Fully Shielded (Metal Shell) | | **Cable Compatibility** | Cat6 / Cat6A | | **Wire Gauge Range** | Typically 24-26 AWG (Stranded or Solid) | | **Contact Plating** | 50μ" Gold Plating | | **Orientation** | Straight | | **Color/Finish** | Green (Latch/Housing accent) | --- ### 2. Detailed Electronic & Physical Features #### A. Shielding and EMI Protection The "G-R" series features a metal casing surrounding the plastic housing. This acts as a **Faraday Cage**, protecting the data signals from external noise and reducing crosstalk. This is essential for 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. #### B. 50μ" Gold Plating The contacts are coated with 50 micro-inches of gold. This is the highest industry standard for networking connectors, providing: * **Superior Conductivity:** Lower resistance for data transmission. * **Corrosion Resistance:** Prevents oxidation in humid or industrial environments. * **Durability:** Rated for a high number of mating cycles (plugging/unplugging). #### C. Connector Geometry The internal staggered design (3-prong or 2-prong pins) allows the connector to accommodate thicker insulation found in Cat6/Cat6A cables while maintaining the required twist rate of the internal pairs right up to the contact point. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases * **Data Centers:** High-density patching where interference between cables is a risk. * **Industrial Automation:** Connecting PLCs and sensors near high-voltage machinery. * **PoE (Power over Ethernet):** The high-quality contacts are ideal for delivering power (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) without overheating. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown (Typical) While naming conventions vary by manufacturer (like ASSMANN WSW), the code generally follows this logic: * **A-MCSSP:** Shielded Modular Plug. * **60050:** Categorization (Cat6 performance / 50 micro-inch gold). * **G:** Color indicator (Green). * **R:** RoHS compliant. ---
