Tripp Lite M12 X-Code Cat6a 10G F/UTP CMR-LP Shielded Ethernet Cable (Right-Angle M/M), IP68, PoE, Blue, 2 m (6.6 ft.), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite NM12-6A3-02M-BL is a Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, it features a right-angle M12 male-to-male connector that simplifies installation in tight spaces and reduces cable strain. With an IP68 rating, this cable withstands dust and water exposure, including submersion up to 1.5 meters for an hour, making it well suited for factory floors, outdoor setups, and other harsh conditions.

In addition to robust physical protection, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 60 watts, enabling both data transmission and device powering through a single cable. The UL CMR-LP certification ensures compliance with safety standards for high-power applications, providing confidence in critical network and automation systems.
