FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-603-02M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-603-02M-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, 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 IP68-rated protection against dust and water.

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 washdown applications and harsh 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 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 are the connector types and cable length specifications?

The cable features M12 X-Code connectors (Male) on both ends with a 12-millimeter locking thread. One end has a right-angle connector design for easier installation in tight spaces. The total cable length is 2 meters (6.56 feet), and it uses 23 AWG copper conductors.

What environments is this cable best suited for?

This cable is ideal 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 designed to withstand corrosion, vibration, moisture, heat, and regular washdowns.
