FAQs

What are the key features and applications of the Tripp Lite NM12-604-01M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-604-01M-BL is a Cat6 M12 cable designed for industrial environments, featuring an IP68-rated M12 connector that's dust-proof and water-resistant up to 1.5 meters for 60 minutes. It's ideal for factories, warehouses, railways, and food/beverage facilities. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and 60W PoE, making it perfect for connecting devices like surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, and access control systems. It includes a right-angle connector design for easy installation in tight spaces and features a blue PVC jacket for easy identification.

What type of connectors does this cable have and what's their configuration?

The cable features two different connector types: one end has an M12-X Network male connector with a 12-millimeter locking thread, while the other end has an RJ-45 Network male connector. The M12 connector is designed at a right angle to facilitate installation in confined spaces and reduce cable strain. Both connectors are snagless, and the M12 connector is specifically designed for industrial applications requiring protection against harsh environmental conditions.

What is the cable's PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability?

The cable supports high-power 60W PoE++ (Power over Ethernet), allowing it to power various network devices like surveillance cameras, VoIP telephones, and access control devices without requiring separate power supplies. This capability is particularly valuable for installations where AC power outlets are not readily available, such as on poles or ceilings, and helps reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for separate power cabling.

What environmental protections does this cable offer?

This cable offers comprehensive environmental protection with an IP68 rating, making it 100% dust-proof and water-resistant up to 1.5 meters for 60 minutes. It's also temperature, corrosion, vibration, moisture, and damage resistant. The cable is specifically designed for harsh environments like factories, warehouses, recycling plants, and food/beverage facilities where exposure to challenging conditions is common.

What are the cable's technical specifications?

The cable is a Category 6 (Cat6) network cable measuring 3.28 feet in length, constructed with 23 AWG copper conductors. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit per second. The cable features a CMR-rated PVC jacket in blue color, is unshielded (UTP), and is certified as CMR-LP for installations with increased power levels. It's designed to maintain performance without exceeding temperature ratings when handling marked current loads.
