APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-021 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-021 is a 21-foot network cable extender designed to bridge two existing RJ-45 terminated Ethernet cables. This coupler is essential for extending network reach in surveillance or data center environments where a single cable run is insufficient, without requiring a full cable re-pull. It maintains signal integrity for standard network protocols up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring reliable data transmission for devices like IP cameras, network switches, or access points.

Compatibility

This RJ-45 (female) to RJ-45 (female) coupler is compatible with any standard Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a Ethernet cable assembly terminated with an RJ-45 connector. It is suitable for extending network connections for devices requiring standard Ethernet connectivity, including but not limited to IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and other network-attached devices. Ensure connected cables meet or exceed Cat5e specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

Installation involves simply plugging an existing Ethernet cable into one RJ-45 port and another Ethernet cable into the second RJ-45 port. No special tools or configuration are required. For optimal performance and to maintain Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensure both connected cables are properly terminated and undamaged. Avoid exceeding the combined length limitations of standard Ethernet cabling (typically 100 meters or 328 feet) to prevent signal degradation or connection loss.
