APC by Schneider Electric Network Cable RJ-45 F/f 11FT UTP CAT6 - DDCC6-011

APC by Schneider Electric DDCC6-011 Network Cable RJ-45 F/f 11FT UTP CAT6

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric DDCC6-011 is a female-to-female UTP Cat6 network cable extender. It's designed to join two existing RJ-45 terminated cables, effectively extending your network reach by 11 feet (3.35 meters). This is critical for installations where standard patch cables fall short, such as extending connections to remote surveillance cameras, access control panels, or network-attached storage devices without requiring a full cable run. Its black color aids in discreet deployment within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This coupler supports any standard RJ-45 terminated network cable. It is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 cabling for network speeds up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). For optimal performance and to achieve the full 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) capability of Cat6, it must be paired with two Cat6-rated cables. This ensures signal integrity for demanding applications like high-definition video streaming from IP cameras or high-speed data transfers.

Installation Notes

The operating and storage temperature range for the DDCC6-011 is -15°C to 45°C (5°F to 113°F), with an operating and storage relative humidity range of 0-95%. It is suitable for deployment up to an altitude of 3000 meters (9842 ft). Certifications include TAA compliance, UL Listed, and UL Recognized, confirming adherence to safety and trade standards. The cable is U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), meaning it relies on the inherent noise rejection of twisted pairs for signal integrity, making it suitable for most indoor, low-interference environments.
