FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-602-05M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-602-05M-BL is a Cat6 M12 cable designed to connect Gigabit Ethernet networks in harsh industrial environments. It's specifically engineered for wet/humid environments, areas subject to vibration, and locations requiring protection from harsh elements such as factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, railways, and machine shops. The cable supports 1 Gbps data transfer rates and features an IP68-rated M12 connector for superior protection.

What are the connector types on this cable?

This cable features two different connector types: an M12-X Network Male connector on one end and an RJ-45 Network Male connector on the other end. The M12 connector has a 12-millimeter locking thread specifically designed for washdown and corrosive applications, while the RJ-45 connector is snagless. This combination makes it ideal for connecting industrial equipment to standard network infrastructure.

What is the IP68 rating and what protection does it provide?

The IP68 rating on the M12 connector 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 use in wet, dusty, and harsh industrial environments where standard network cables would fail.

What PoE capabilities does this cable support?

The cable supports high-power 60W PoE++ (Power over Ethernet), allowing it to power various PoE-enabled devices such as surveillance cameras, VoIP telephones, access control devices, and other compatible equipment. This capability eliminates the need for separate power supplies and additional power cables, making installation more efficient and cost-effective, especially in locations far from AC outlets.

What is the length and physical specifications of the cable?

The cable is 16.40 feet (5 meters) long and uses 23 AWG copper conductors. It features a blue PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket for easy identification in the field. The cable is unshielded (UTP) and has a CMR-LP certification for installations with increased power levels.
