FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-601-01M-BL cable?
The Tripp Lite NM12-601-01M-BL is a Cat6 M12 X-Code cable designed for connecting Gigabit Ethernet networks in harsh industrial environments. It's specifically built for wet/humid environments and areas subject to vibration, such as factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, railways, and machine shops. The cable features M12 circular connectors with 12mm locking thread, making it ideal for washdown and corrosive applications.
What is the IP68 rating on this cable, and what protection does it offer?
The IP68 rating on this cable provides maximum protection against environmental factors. It offers 100% protection against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters deep for 60 minutes without any damage or performance degradation. This makes it ideal for industrial environments where exposure to dust and water is common.
What are the PoE capabilities of this cable?
This Cat6 cable supports high-power 60W PoE++ (Power over Ethernet), allowing it to power various PoE-enabled devices such as surveillance cameras, VoIP telephones, and access control devices. This capability eliminates the need for separate power supplies and additional power cables, enabling device installation in locations far from AC outlets, such as poles or ceilings.
What is the length and connector type of this cable?
The cable is 1 meter (3.28 feet) in length and features M12 X-Code Network Male connectors on both ends. These circular connectors include a 12-millimeter locking thread designed specifically for industrial applications requiring secure connections.
What is the significance of the CMR-LP certification?
The CMR-LP certification indicates that this cable has been evaluated to handle marked current levels under various installation scenarios without exceeding its temperature rating. This certification ensures the cable can safely manage increased power levels without heat-related issues, making it suitable for high-power installations.
