Network cable CORDIAL 15547 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 1.5 m, Black

The CORDIAL 15547 is a 1.5 m Cat5e S/UTP (STP) networking patch cable in black, designed for audio, lighting control and EtherSound™ networks. It combines a PUR outer jacket for mobile indoor/outdoor use with a flexible AWG 26/19 conductor construction and HIROSE® RJ45 plugs protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The cable supports PoE according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 (15.4 W) and is suitable for patching, device connections and stage or mobile installations.

Advantages

The cable is highly flexible yet robust and reelable, offering a tight bending radius for confined installations or repeated handling. Its PUR jacket provides increased durability for mobile and outdoor use while the transparent shrink-on tube allows easy cable identification. Shielding and connector protection improve signal reliability in professional audio and lighting environments.

Suitable for

• Audio networks and EtherSound™ systems
• Lighting control networks
• Patch panels and device-to-device connections
• Stage, mobile and outdoor temporary installations

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e cable is intended for networks up to the Cat5e performance level (100 MHz). It may not be suitable where higher data rates or Cat6/Cat6a specifications are required. For installations requiring PoE standards beyond IEEE 802.3af-2003 or higher power delivery, choose a cable and infrastructure rated for those PoE classes.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Cable category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Conductor: AWG 26/19, flexible stranded conductor
• Jacket material: PUR (suitable for mobile indoor/outdoor use)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends, with NEUTRIK® etherCON® protection on HIROSE® RJ45 plugs
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af-2003 (up to 15.4 W)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the corresponding network ports on devices or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and, if used with NEUTRIK® etherCON® housings, engage the protective connector housings according to the housing manufacturer’s instructions. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends beyond its tight bending radius and protect it from crushing or severe abrasion for reliable long-term performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm Cat5e performance (100 MHz) meets your network speed requirements.
• Check PoE power needs — this cable supports IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W) only.
• Verify 1.5 m length is sufficient for device placement and rack/patch layouts.
• Consider whether PUR jacket and shielding match your environment (mobile/outdoor/stage use).

Usage recommendations

Use this CORDIAL Cat5e S/UTP patch cable for short runs between devices, patch panels and for mobile or stage applications where flexibility, durability and connector protection are required. Avoid installing it where Cat6 or higher bandwidth or higher PoE power delivery is necessary.
