IP 69 is the Ingress Protection rating, indicating the level of protection a product has from dust and moisture. In this case, an IP rating for an M12 connector applies once the cable is attached to the mating connector or receptacle. The first number indicates the level of dust protection, with 6 showing a total protection from dust particles. The second number indicates the level of moisture protection, with 9 meaning it is protected from high pressure / high temperature water jets, no matter what direction those water jets are coming from.
