Code Blue CB4U00185 PoE Cable Connector
Overview
The Code Blue CB4U00185 is a sealed PoE cable connector built for outdoor surveillance and networked device installations where environmental protection matters. IP68 rating means it blocks dust and moisture ingress — critical when you're running cabling through wet conduit, across loading docks, or into partially sealed enclosures. It draws power via standard 802.3af PoE (under 13W), so it integrates into any existing PoE switch without straining your power budget or requiring separate injection supplies. The connector ships as part of Code Blue's 4 Series Underground help point family, engineered to NEMA 4 specifications and ADA-compliant for public-facing installations.
Compatibility
The CB4U00185 works with standard 802.3af PoE infrastructure — any managed or unmanaged PoE switch that delivers power-over-twisted-pair will support it. It pairs with Code Blue's LS1000 VoIP speakerphone, LS2000 VoIP handset, and IA4100 analog speakerphone systems, making it suitable for emergency call stations, intercom nodes, and networked audio devices operating on PoE budgets. Integrators deploying IP-based surveillance systems or outdoor networked IoT endpoints should confirm cable gauge compatibility (the connector accommodates standard CAT5e/CAT6 terminated pairs).
Installation Notes
Steel construction (0.125" wall thickness) delivers durability in high-traffic environments but adds weight — plan for solid mounting when installing the full 70 lb. assembly. Operating voltage range is 12–24V AC/DC; verify your PoE injector or switch output meets this range. Designed for NEMA 4 (splash-proof, dust-tight) outdoor enclosures; if full submersion or continuous spray is required, confirm seal maintenance intervals with Code Blue. LED faceplate illumination aids nighttime visibility on help point installations.
