What are the key features of the Tripp Lite Cat.6 Network Cable?

The Tripp Lite Cat.6 Network Cable (NM12-604-05M-BL) features an IP68-rated M12 connector that's dust-proof and water-resistant up to 1.5m depth for 60 minutes. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and 60W PoE++, has a right-angle connector design, and is 16.40 ft long. The cable is specifically designed for industrial environments with resistance to temperature, vibration, moisture, and corrosion. It features a blue PVC jacket for easy identification and includes a snagless boot design.

What environments is this cable best suited for?

This cable is specifically designed for industrial and harsh environments including factories, warehouses, recycling plants, airports, railways, and machine shops. It's particularly suitable for wet/humid environments and areas subject to vibration. The cable is also ideal for agriculture, alternative energy, communications, factory automation, measurement and control, robotics, transportation, and food/beverage facilities due to its robust construction and protective features.

What is the IP68 rating and what protection does it provide?

The IP68 rating on this cable's M12 connector provides dual protection: complete dust resistance (6) and water immersion protection (8). This means the connector is 100% protected against dust ingress and 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 protection from harsh elements is essential.

What are the PoE capabilities of this cable?

This Cat6 cable supports high-power PoE++ up to 60W, making it capable of powering various PoE devices including surveillance cameras, VoIP telephones, and access control devices. This feature eliminates the need for separate power supplies and additional power cables, reducing installation costs and complexity. The cable is CMR-LP certified, ensuring safe operation with increased power levels without exceeding temperature ratings.

What are the connector types on this cable?

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 for easy installation in tight spaces, and includes a locking mechanism for secure connections in high-vibration environments.
