FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-601-03M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-601-03M-BL is a Cat6 M12 X-Code cable designed to connect Gigabit Ethernet networks in challenging 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 supports 1 Gbps data transfer rates and features M12 connectors with 12-millimeter locking threads for secure connections in 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, water, and other harsh elements 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 feature 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 3 meters (9.84 feet) long and features M12 X-Code connectors on both ends (Male to Male). The M12 connectors include a 12-millimeter locking thread design for secure connections, making them ideal for industrial applications where connection stability is crucial.

What environments is this cable best suited for?

This cable is optimally designed for industrial and harsh environments including factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, railways, machine shops, agriculture facilities, alternative energy installations, communications centers, factory automation systems, and food/beverage facilities. It's specifically engineered to withstand moisture, vibration, corrosion, dust, and temperature variations.
