Kable-X is professional wire harness manufacturer specialized in the fields od industrial control, medical equipment,etc. We always maintain the research on materials and technologies of wire harness waterproofing, and strive to design and develop satisfactory waterproof wire harness products for each customer.

In the wire harness industry, most of the waterproof standards are measured by the IEC 60529-2013 waterproof and dust-proof standard. Translated into Chinese, it is also called "the waterproof grade provided by the chassis (IP code). So we always say IP68 waterproof and dust-proof standard. What does the IP code specifically mean? Let’s get to know them today.

Take the code IP68 as an example: IP-international protection standard, 6-indicates the protection level in solids, 8-indicates the protection level in liquids, the following is a reference for each code.

Protection level in solids(the first number in the code)

Second digit: Liquid ingress protection
