FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-603-03M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-603-03M-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.

What is the IP68 rating on this cable and what does it mean?

The IP68 rating on this cable indicates maximum protection against dust and water. Specifically, it 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 washdown applications and harsh industrial environments where exposure to water and dust 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, making installation more efficient and cost-effective, especially in locations far from AC outlets like 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/Male). One connector is designed at a right angle for easy installation in tight spaces. The M12 connectors include a 12-millimeter locking thread specifically designed for washdown and corrosive applications.

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 moisture, vibration, corrosion, dust, and temperature variations.
