APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-045 Data Distribution Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-045 is a 15-meter (49 ft) Category 5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cable designed for structured cabling deployments. It features six RJ-45 female connectors on each end, enabling multi-device connectivity in a compact form factor. This cable is suitable for extending network connections in environments requiring reliable data transmission, such as connecting multiple network devices to a patch panel or switch in a server rack or data distribution point. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) rating indicates suitability for in-wall and riser applications.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for general network connectivity. Its RJ-45 female connectors are compatible with standard RJ-45 male plugs found on Ethernet devices, network cables, and patch panels. It is suitable for use with any network equipment adhering to the IEEE 802.3 standards for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, including switches, routers, IP cameras, and access control systems that utilize standard RJ-45 network ports.

Installation Notes

The DDCC5E-045 cable has a PVC jacket, providing flexibility for routing within conduits or cable trays. Its CMR rating allows for vertical runs between floors. Ensure proper strain relief is applied at connection points to maintain cable integrity and prevent damage to the RJ-45 connectors. The 15-meter length should be considered to avoid exceeding maximum Ethernet cable length limitations (100 meters) for optimal network performance.
