OPENGEAR 440077 | 3-Conductor DC Power Cable with Wire-End Ferrules, 4M, DDC Console Server

Q: What is this cable used for?
A: This cable is designed to supply DC power to Opengear DDC (Dual DC) console server appliances. It connects from a DC power source to the screw-in terminal block on compatible Opengear devices.

Q: What are wire-end ferrules and why do they matter?
A: Wire-end ferrules are metal sleeves crimped onto the end of each conductor. They prevent wire strands from fraying, ensure a consistent contact surface at the screw terminal, and improve long-term connection reliability — particularly important in high-vibration or mission-critical environments.

Q: Which Opengear models is this cable compatible with?
A: This cable is compatible with Opengear DDC (Dual DC) console server models that use screw-in DC power terminals. Consult your Opengear device documentation or contact IP Trading to confirm compatibility with your specific appliance.

Q: Is 4 metres sufficient for a standard rack installation?
A: Yes, for most rack or cabinet installations 4 metres provides ample length to route the cable from a DC distribution panel or power supply to the console server, including cable management allowances.

Q: Can I purchase this cable in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist and stocks Opengear accessories including this DDC power cable. Orders are dispatched and delivered across Australia.

Q: Do I need any special tools to terminate this cable?
A: The wire-end ferrules are pre-crimped at the cable ends, so no additional crimping is required. A flat-blade screwdriver is typically all that is needed to secure the ferrules into the screw terminals on the Opengear device.
