IP68 Silicone Neon Flex for Outdoor Lighting Applications
What is IP68?
IP68 silicone neon flex, IP68 is a rating system used to classify the degree of protection provided by electronic equipment against water, dust, and other solid particles. It is composed of two numbers, the first number represents the level of protection against solid particles, and the second number represents the waterproof level.
“IP” stands for “Ingress Protection” and refers to the ability of an electronic device to prevent water, dust, and other particles from entering its internal components.
The number “6” in the IP68 rating indicates the highest level of protection against dust and other solid particles, meaning the device is completely dustproof. The number “8” indicates the highest waterproof level, which means that the device can be immersed in the specified depth of water for a long time without being damaged.
In short, a device with an IP68 protection rating is the highest level of protection against water and dust, such as underwater or in watery and dusty environments.
