## Technical Overview: A-MCSP-80030-R-R The **A-MCSP-80030-R-R** is a specific type of electronic interconnect component, commonly identified as a **Modular Cable Assembly**. Specifically, this part number refers to a high-quality Ethernet patch cable manufactured by **ASSMANN WSW Components**. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Based on the standard nomenclature for the A-MCSP series, here are the primary specifications: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) Male to Male | | **Cable Category** | Cat5e (Enhanced Category 5) | | **Shielding** | FTP (Foil Twisted Pair) / Shielded | | **Length** | 3.0 Meters (~9.84 feet) | | **Color** | Red | | **Conductor Gauge** | 26 AWG (Typically) | | **Jacket Material** | PVC | --- ### 2. Electronic Composition The "electronic parts" of this assembly consist of several integrated layers designed to ensure data integrity and signal strength: * **Copper Conductors:** The core consists of 8 stranded copper wires. Stranded wire is used instead of solid core to provide flexibility and prevent metal fatigue during bending. * **Insulation:** Each conductor is wrapped in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) layer to prevent cross-talk between the pairs. * **Shielding (Foil):** The "FTP" designation indicates an aluminum foil shield wrapped around the internal pairs. This protects the data signal from **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)** and **Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)**. * **Gold-Plated Contacts:** The RJ45 plugs feature contacts plated with gold (usually 50μ"). Gold is used because it is highly conductive and resistant to oxidation, ensuring a stable connection over many years. * **Molded Strain Relief:** The "R-R" suffix often indicates a booted/molded design, which protects the locking tab and prevents the cable from snapping at the connector interface. --- ### 3. Functional Application This part is used in environments where reliable networking is critical. The red color is typically used in server rooms for **color-coding** specific types of traffic (e.g., critical uplinks or redundant power paths). **Key Performance Metrics:** * **Bandwidth:** Up to 100 MHz. * **Data Rate:** Supports up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). * **Impedance:** 100 Ohms. ---
