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.

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 Ethernet Switch package contains the following items:
