Tripp Lite M12 X-Code Cat6a 10G F/UTP CMR-LP Shielded Ethernet Cable (Right-Angle M12 M/RJ45 M), IP68, PoE, Blue, 3 m (9.8 ft.), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite NM12-6A4-03M-BL is a Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver 10 gigabit network speeds in demanding environments where standard patch cords often fail. Featuring an M12 X Code connector with a right-angle design on one end and a standard RJ45 plug on the other, it enables direct connection between rugged field equipment and conventional network devices. Its IP68 rating ensures full dust protection and water immersion resistance up to 1.5 meters for one hour, making it ideal for industrial and outdoor applications.

Key features

• Cat6a F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from heavy machinery and welders, maintaining data integrity.
• IP68-rated M12 connector blocks dust completely and withstands water immersion, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions.
• Right-angle M12 connector design allows installation in tight spaces without causing excessive cable strain.
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 60 watts, enabling simultaneous data and power delivery to devices like cameras and sensors.
• CMR LP certification guarantees safe use in bundled PoE installations at elevated temperatures, common in control cabinets and conduits.
• Blue PVC jacket enhances cable visibility in crowded trays, simplifying maintenance and reducing accidental disconnections.
• Three-meter length provides sufficient reach to navigate around obstacles while keeping installations neat and organized.
• Lifetime limited warranty offers long-term reliability and peace of mind for network administrators and technicians.
