Network cable CORDIAL 15536 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 2 m, Black

The Cordial 15536 is a 2 m Cat5e S/UTP (STP) networking patch cable with a black PUR jacket and RJ-45 straight male connectors at both ends. It uses a highly flexible AWG 26/19 conductor construction and an overall S/UTP shield, making it suitable for mobile indoor and outdoor applications where robust, reelable cable and a tight bending radius are required. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 (15.4 W).

Advantages

This cable combines flexibility and mechanical robustness thanks to its PUR outer jacket and a special TPE-V stabilizer around the conductors. The AWG 26/19 stranded inner conductor improves handling and bending performance, while the overall S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference. Transparent shrink-on tubes on the connectors allow for easy identification of individual patch cables.

Suitable for

• Audio networks and digital audio systems (e.g., EtherSound™)
• Lighting control and stage installations
• Device-to-device patching in studios and mobile rigs
• Temporary outdoor transmissions and touring applications

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e S/UTP cable is not designed for high-bandwidth applications that require Cat6 or higher performance or for PoE standards above IEEE 802.3af-2003. It may also be unsuitable where individual pair shielding (F/UTP or individually shielded pairs) is specifically required for extreme industrial environments.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Data class: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Conductor: AWG 26/19, stranded
• Overall shielding: S/UTP (overall braid)
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane)
• Stabilizer: TPE-V around conductors
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af-2003, 15.4 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 straight male end to your network device and the other end to the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. The flexible PUR jacket and stranded AWG 26/19 conductor allow routing through tight curves and quick reel/unreel during setup for temporary installations. Observe PoE power limits and maximum channel distance recommendations from your equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data class (Cat5e is suitable up to 100 MHz)
• Whether PoE power 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af) meets your device requirements
• Need for individual pair shielding or higher category cable (Cat6/6a) for higher bandwidths
• Required cable length and connector types

Usage recommendations

For mobile and stage use, keep the cable free from sharp bends and avoid crushing; the PUR jacket and stranded core are designed to withstand frequent handling and reeling. For permanent installations or higher data rates, consider upgrading to a higher category cable.
