FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-603-05M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-603-05M-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 conditions, areas with vibration, and locations requiring protection from harsh elements like 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 does it mean?

The IP68 rating on this cable indicates complete protection against dust (IP6x) and water resistance (IPx8). Specifically, the cable can be immersed 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 environments where water exposure 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 like 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 5 meters (16.4 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 vibration, moisture, dust, and corrosive conditions.
