Overview
The Tripp Lite N206-PC50-IND is a 50-foot (15.24 m) industrial Cat5e/Cat6 shielded twistefd-pair Ethernet patch cable with male RJ45 connectors on both ends. Its CMX-rated outdoor construction and environmental protection make it suitable for network connections exposed to dust, moisture, vibration, and other harsh operating conditions.
Networking and PoE
The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity up to 1 Gbps and is compatible with Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 applications. It also supports IEEE 802.3af Type 1 PoE up to 15.4W and IEEE 802.3at Type 2 PoE+ up to 30W, allowing compatible network devices to receive data and power through the same cable.
Environmental Protection
The N206-PC50-IND uses shielded construction to help reduce interference from EMI/RFI generated by motors, power cables, welding equipment and other industrial machinery. The cable is IP68-rated for dust protection and is specified by the manufacturer for immersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 60 minutes. The CMX outdoor jacket is intended for demanding indoor and outdoor installations.
Connectors and Construction
Both ends use male RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors, four twisted pairs and a 6.2 mm outer diameter. Included dust caps help protect the connectors when they are not connected.
Key Features
- 50 ft (15.24 m) industrial Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet patch cable
- Shielded twisted-pair construction for EMI/RFI protection
- IP68-rated protection against dust and water
- Supports Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PoE
