To ensure an IP65 and IP67 product specification, Zebra cables and/or connector covers must be torqued to the following specification:
Torque for M12 Zebra cables: 24.0 in-lbs
Torque for connector covers: 10.0 in-lbs
Connector covers are hand tightened from the factory to allow for easy hand removal. The covers must be torqued at installation to guarantee an IP65 and IP67 specification if cables are not used.
Refer to the following diagram for the reference dimension (in mm) of the 12-pin M12 cable:
