FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate of the Tripp Lite NM12-601-05M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-601-05M-BL supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gigabit per second (1 Gbit/s). This Cat6 cable provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, making it suitable for high-speed industrial network applications and various PoE-enabled devices including surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, and access control systems.

What is the IP rating of this cable and what does it mean?

This cable has an IP68 rating, which provides the highest level of protection against environmental factors. The rating means the cable is 100% protected 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 wet, humid, and harsh industrial environments.

What types of environments is this cable designed for?

The NM12-601-05M-BL is specifically designed for harsh industrial environments including factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, railways, and machine shops. It's also suitable for washdown and corrosive applications in agriculture, alternative energy, communications, factory automation, measurement and control, robotics, transportation, and food/beverage facilities. The cable's robust design protects against moisture, vibration, dust, and other harsh elements.

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 of the cable and what type of connectors does it use?

The cable is 5 meters (16.4 feet) long and features M12 X-Code connectors on both ends (Male to Male). The M12 connectors have a 12-millimeter locking thread specifically designed for industrial applications, providing secure connections in environments subject to vibration and movement.
