APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-025 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric DDCC5E-025 is a 25-foot network cable designed to extend existing RJ-45 network connections. This cable functions as a female-to-female coupler, allowing you to join two standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to achieve a longer run without re-cabling. It's particularly useful in surveillance deployments where camera locations might be just outside the reach of standard patch cords, preventing the need for new cable pulls through conduit or ceilings.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any standard RJ-45 terminated Ethernet cable, including Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a. It is suitable for extending network connections for IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), network switches, and any other Ethernet-based devices. It does not introduce specific compatibility limitations beyond the standard RJ-45 interface.

Installation Notes

Installation involves simply plugging an existing Ethernet cable into one RJ-45 female port and another Ethernet cable into the second RJ-45 female port. Ensure the connection is secure. For optimal performance and to maintain network integrity, it is recommended to use this coupler with cables that meet or exceed Cat5e specifications and to avoid exceeding standard Ethernet cable length limitations (typically 100 meters or 328 feet) for the combined cable run, as excessive length can degrade signal quality and network performance.
