Tripp Lite M12 X-Code Cat6a 10G F/UTP CMR-LP Shielded Ethernet Cable (M12 M/RJ45 M), IP68, PoE, Blue, 2 m (6.6 ft.), TAA

The Tripp Lite NM12-6A2-02M-BL is an Ethernet cable that connects industrial devices to 10 GbE infrastructure while standing up to dust, vibration, and moisture.

One end carries an IP68 M12 X-Code plug that seals out dust and survives immersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for one hour, making the cable a solid choice for production floors, machine shops, outdoor kiosks, and any location where the network shares space with oil, metal shavings, or wash-downs. The opposite end has a standard RJ-45 plug so you can tie the field device directly into a switch or patch panel.

Inside the jacket, which is made from blue PVC, you will find Cat6a twisted pairs and shielding that preserve signal integrity up to 10 gigabits per second. Because the cable supports 60 watts of Power over Ethernet, you can drive cameras, access-control readers, and other PoE-enabled gear without a separate power run. The UL CMR-LP rating confirms the cable will not overheat in high-power applications, an assurance that becomes increasingly valuable as factories move toward higher PoE budgets.

Installation is straightforward: thread the M12 connector onto a sensor, controller, or panel feed-through, snap the RJ-45 into your network hardware, and you are finished. The two meter length is long enough to reach across cabinets or between adjacent racks but short enough to keep cable trays tidy. Its blue color stands out among typical gray field wiring, so technicians can trace the run quickly during maintenance.

The cable is also TAA compliant, which helps integrators working on federally funded or regulated projects meet procurement rules without searching for alternative part numbers.
