How to check the waterproof rating of a connecting cable
2025-09-26

The waterproof level of a connecting cable is primarily determined by its IP (Ingress Protection) rating, specifically the second digit following the "IP". This digit indicates the waterproof capability, with a higher digit indicating stronger protection:


For example, IP68 indicates complete dustproof (6) + long-term immersion (8), suitable for underwater equipment, marine environments, etc

How to determine the waterproof rating of a connecting cable?


Check the product label or manual: Regular products will be labeled with an IP rating.


View certification or test reports: such as IEC 60529 standard testing.


Observing structural design: High-quality waterproof cables typically feature multiple layers of sealing rings, waterproof rubber rings, threaded locking structures, etc

Common testing methods (for verification):


Water immersion test: Applicable to IPX7/IPX8. Check for water infiltration after immersion.


Spray test: Applicable to IPX5/IPX6, simulating rainwater or jet water.


Air tightness test: It detects the sealing performance, indirectly reflecting the waterproof ability
