Given a cable with a crimped RJ45 and either another RJ45 or DB9, how does
one calculate the MTBF, since its a passive device rather than active?

In theory, given that the pins are of like metals (gold/gold  or tin/tin vs
gold/tin, etc) and connected once, one might think the MTBF would be very
large. Has anyone done any calulations and based upon any industry specs?
