Ingress Protection IP67
The classification of degrees of protection provided by the enclosures is defined by IEC 60529. Each rating is defined by specific tests.
The IP number is comprised of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the second against fluids. The higher the number, the better the device is protected against contact with moving parts and the harmful entry of various forms of moisture.
1st IP | Protection against ingress of solids | 2nd IP | Protection against ingress of liquids |
0 | No protection | 0 | No protection |
1 | Protected against solid objects over 50mm e.g. hands, | 1 | Protected against vertically falling drops of water. |
| large tools. |
|
|
2 | Protected against solid objects over 12mm e.g. hands, | 2 | Protected against direct sprays of water up to 15° |
| large tools. |
| from vertical. |
3 | Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm e.g. wire, | 3 | Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60° |
| small tools. |
| from vertical. |
4 | Protected against solid objects over 1.0mm e.g. wires. | 4 | Protected against water sprayed from any direction. |
|
|
| Limited ingress permitted. |
5 | Limited protection against dust ingress (no harmful | 5 | Protected against low pressure water jets from any |
| deposit) |
| direction. Limited ingress permitted. |
6 | Totally protected against dust ingress. | 6 | Protected against high pressure water jets from any |
|
|
| direction. Limited ingress permitted. |
|
| 7 | Protected against temporary immersion between |
|
|
| 15cm to 1m. |
|
| 8 | Protected against long periods of immersion under |
|
|
| pressure. |
The 708M12 Industrial Ethernet Switches are fully protected against dust and will remain sealed when immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter for 1 hour when all the ports are properly mated or sealed.
These IP67 caps seal off the unused ports protecting them from dirt, water, oil or any other contaminants which might be present in the close proximity of the switch.
Please make sure the 708 Series Ethernet Switch package contains the following items:
1.708M12 Switch
