FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite NM12-604-03M-BL cable?

The Tripp Lite NM12-604-03M-BL is a Cat6 M12 cable designed for connecting Gigabit Ethernet networks in harsh industrial environments. It's specifically engineered for wet/humid environments, 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 an IP68-rated M12 connector for superior protection.

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

The IP68 rating on the M12 connector indicates the highest level of protection against environmental factors. Specifically, it means the connector 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 environments and applications where water resistance is crucial.

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 devices including surveillance cameras, VoIP telephones, and access control devices. This capability 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 length specifications?

The cable is 9.84 feet (3 meters) 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 end features a snagless boot design. Both connectors are specifically engineered for industrial 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, agricultural facilities, alternative energy installations, communications centers, factory automation systems, and food/beverage facilities. It's specifically designed to withstand moisture, vibration, dust, corrosion, and temperature variations.
