Tripp Lite M12 X-Code Cat6a 10G F/UTP CMR-LP Shielded Ethernet Cable (M/M), IP68, PoE, Blue, 10 m (32.8 ft.), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite NM12-6A1-10M-BL is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for industrial environments that require both high-speed data transfer and robust durability. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for data-intensive applications, while its M12 X-Code male connectors provide a secure connection resistant to vibration and movement. With an IP68 rating, this cable is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for one hour, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.

Its F/UTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference, which is common in industrial settings, and the UL CMR-LP rated jacket allows safe delivery of up to 60 watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE). This combination lets you power devices like surveillance cameras, robotics controllers, and access points through a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter. The 10-meter length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across factory floors, control cabinets, or outdoor enclosures without the need for splices.
