Detailed Specifications
TRENDnet TI-TCR02 M12 Industrial Alarm Relay Cable
Overview
The TRENDnet TI-TCR02 is an industrial-grade M12 alarm relay cable engineered for reliability in harsh operational environments. Specifically designed for mobile and industrial applications, this cable provides a crucial link between a compatible industrial switch, such as the TI-TPG80, and an external alarm relay system. Its primary function is to trigger an alarm in the event of a power failure, ensuring that network administrators are immediately notified of disruptions to maintain operational continuity. This capability is essential in environments like moving buses, trains, and other rolling stock where consistent network uptime is critical. Built to withstand demanding conditions, the TI-TCR02 features a rugged IP68 weather-rated construction. This ensures the cable is completely protected from dust ingress and can withstand submersion in water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployments where moisture and fine particulates are a concern. The robust Polyurethane (PUR) jacket provides an additional layer of durability, offering excellent resistance to oil and other common industrial contaminants. This level of protection guarantees a secure and stable connection, preserving signal integrity even when exposed to vibration and environmental stressors. This 2-meter (6.5 ft.) cable is purpose-built for seamless integration into industrial network infrastructures. Its M12 5-pin female interface provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the switch, a critical feature for transportation and mobile applications. The other end terminates in a standard interface for connecting to the alarm relay. The TI-TCR02 is an indispensable component for building resilient industrial networks that require proactive fault notification, enabling rapid response to power-related issues and minimizing potential downtime.
