Overview
The Tripp Lite N206-WK01-IND is a water-resistant cable assembly kit designed to protect Ethernet cable connections in outdoor and harsh indoor environments. The assembly slides over compatible industrial Ethernet cable and secures to a compatible bulkhead coupler or keystone jack to help protect the connection from water and debris.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The N206-WK01-IND is designed for networking installations using Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cabling and supports Power over Ethernet applications. Eaton specifies support for IEEE 802.3af Type 1 PoE up to 15.4W and IEEE 802.3at Type 2 PoE+ up to 30W.
For a complete protected connection, the assembly kit is used with compatible Tripp Lite industrial connectivity components. Eaton's documentation identifies combinations using the N206-SB01-IND surface-mount box or N206-FPXX-IND faceplate together with compatible bulkhead couplers or keystone jacks and industrial patch cable.
Environmental Protection
The manufacturer specifies an IP68 rating for the applicable protected connection configuration. Eaton states that the IP68 protection can provide resistance to dust and submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 60 minutes when the required compatible components are used together.
Key Features
- Water-resistant cable assembly for industrial Ethernet installations
- IP68 protection for supported component combinations
- Supports Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 networking applications
- Supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE applications
- TAA compliant and designed for industrial-grade installations
Applications
The N206-WK01-IND can be used to protect Ethernet connections in outdoor installations, harsh indoor environments, industrial networking applications, and digital signage deployments where environmental protection is required.
DC Supplies Product Note
The IP68 rating applies to the supported protected connection configuration rather than the cable assembly being used in isolation. The required compatible enclosure, coupler or jack, and cable combination should therefore be selected according to the intended installation.
