Network patch cable CORDIAL 15548 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 2 m Black

CORDIAL 15548 is a 2 m Cat5e network patch cable with a PUR jacket, S/UTP (overall shield) construction and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses a flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor and HIROSE® RJ45 connectors protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® style cable connector protection. It is designed for Ethernet and LAN connections and supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz, including PoE (IEEE 802.3af‑2003, 15.4 W) for short channel lengths.

Advantages

The cable combines a robust, reelable PUR jacket with a tight bending radius and high flexibility, making it suitable for mobile and stage use as well as fixed installations. Its overall S/UTP shield reduces electromagnetic interference, while transparent shrink tubing at the connectors makes identification and strain relief easier. The use of fine‑stranded AWG 26/19 conductors improves flexibility compared with solid cores.

Suitable for

• Ethernet and LAN patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Audio networks, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems
• Mobile applications, stage operations and outdoor protected transmissions
• Device connection where shielded Cat5e cabling is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for permanent outdoor burial or direct long‑term UV exposure without additional protection; the PUR jacket is durable but not a substitute for dedicated outdoor-rated burial cable. For applications requiring Cat6 performance, higher bandwidth or Gigabit over longer distances, a Cat6 cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e S/UTP (overall shield)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 straight male — both ends
• Conductor: AWG 26/19 fine‑stranded
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane)
• Data bandwidth: up to 100 MHz (Cat5e)
• Shielding: overall foil/braid (S/UTP)
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers or audio/lighting interfaces. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends tighter than the cable's bending radius and keep it clear of strong electromagnetic sources if possible. For temporary outdoor or stage use, secure connectors with the etherCON‑style protection if required by the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data rate and whether Cat5e bandwidth (100 MHz) is sufficient
• Whether a shielded S/UTP cable is needed to reduce interference in your environment
• Length requirement—this product is 2 m long
• Whether the PUR jacket and fine‑stranded conductor suit mobile, stage, or fixed installations

Usage recommendations

Use this CORDIAL Cat5e S/UTP patch cable for short runs, patch panels and mobile stage applications where flexibility, shielding and connector protection are important. Avoid permanent exterior burial and select Cat6 or higher if higher bandwidth or longer sustained Gigabit performance is required.
