Network cable CORDIAL 15540 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) Black RJ-45 to RJ-45 15 m

The Cordial 15540 is a 15 m Cat5e S/UTP networking patch cable in black with PUR outer jacket and RJ-45 connectors at both ends. It uses a highly flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor and a TPE-V stabilizer, making it suitable for audio networks, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems. The cable is reelable, robust and supports PoE according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 (15.4 W).

Advantages

The Cordial 15540 combines a PUR jacket for mobile indoor and outdoor use with a flexible construction that allows a tight bending radius and easy reeling. An overall S/UTP shield reduces interference, and transparent shrink-on tubes simplify identification of connections. HIROSE® RJ45 connectors ensure reliable terminations for device-to-device patching.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and device-to-device connections in live event setups
• Audio network installations and EtherSound™ systems
• Lighting control networks and portable/mobile applications
• Short outdoor runs and stage transmissions where a flexible, robust cable is required

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e S/UTP cable is specified for 100 MHz data class and PoE up to 15.4 W; it is not intended for higher-speed networks that require Cat6 or Cat6a performance or for PoE standards that deliver higher power levels. For permanently buried installations or extreme mechanical loads, a purpose-designed outdoor or armoured cable should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: Overall S/UTP
• Conductor: AWG 26/19 (19 strands per conductor)
• Jacket material: PUR (suitable for mobile indoor/outdoor use)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af-2003, up to 15.4 W (typical channel reach as specified)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured. For mobile or stage use, roll and unroll the cable carefully to preserve the PUR jacket and maintain the tight bending radius. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force during installation and handling.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network speed and whether Cat5e (100 MHz) meets throughput needs
• PoE power requirements of your devices (this cable supports up to IEEE 802.3af 15.4 W)
• Installation environment: mobile/stage use and occasional outdoor exposure are supported, but not permanent burial
• Length required — this model is 15 m

Usage recommendations

For best results in live audio, lighting and portable network setups, use the Cordial 15540 for short to medium runs, avoid sharp bends, and store the cable on reels when transporting to extend service life.
