FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-604-02M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-604-02M-BL is a Cat6 M12 cable designed for connecting Gigabit Ethernet networks in challenging environments. It's specifically built for wet/humid conditions, areas with vibration, and harsh industrial settings like factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, and railways. The cable features an M12 X-Code connector with a 12mm locking thread, making it ideal for washdown and corrosive applications in industries such as agriculture, factory automation, and food/beverage facilities.

What is the IP68 rating on this cable, and what protection does it offer?

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 extremely reliable for use in wet, dusty, or harsh industrial environments where standard cables might fail.

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 are the connector types and length specifications?

The cable is 6.56 feet long and features an M12-X Network male connector on one end and an RJ-45 Network male connector on the other end. The M12 connector is designed at a right angle for easy installation in tight spaces, while the RJ-45 connector is snagless. Both connectors are engineered for reliable network connectivity in industrial environments.

What is the significance of the CMR-LP certification?

The CMR-LP certification indicates that this cable has been evaluated to handle marked current levels under various installation scenarios without exceeding its temperature rating. This certification ensures the cable can safely manage increased power levels without heat-related issues, making it ideal for installations requiring higher power transmission while maintaining safety standards.
