Network patch cable CORDIAL 15554 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) black RJ-45–RJ-45 0.3 m

The CORDIAL 15554 networking cable is a 0.3 m Cat5e S/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends and a black PUR jacket. It pairs a flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor with an overall S/UTP shield and HIROSE® RJ45 plugs fitted with NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The construction is designed for mobile use, stage applications and outdoor transmissions while supporting PoE (IEEE 802.3af-2003, 15.4 W).

Advantages

The cable combines high flexibility, robustness and reelability with a tight bending radius thanks to its TPE-V stabilizer and multi-strand conductor design. A PUR outer jacket provides durability for indoor and outdoor mobile applications, and the transparent shrink-on tube at the connector allows easy cable identification. The overall S/UTP shielding reduces interference for stable data transmission at Cat5e (100 MHz) performance.

Suitable for

• Patch cabling between devices and network panels
• Audio networks, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems
• Stage operations, touring and other mobile applications
• Short outdoor runs and temporary installations

When it may not be suitable

This 0.3 m cable is intended for short connections and patching; it is not suitable where longer cable runs are required. For applications demanding higher data rates or future-proofing beyond 100 MHz Cat5e performance, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cables.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Cable category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield)
• Conductor: AWG 26/19 (19 strands per conductor)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends with HIROSE® plugs and NEUTRIK® etherCON® protection
• Outer jacket: PUR (black)
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af-2003, 15.4 W

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 straight male plug to the network port on your device and the other end to a switch, patch panel or router. Ensure proper seating of the etherCON® protection when used with compatible coupling housings. Use the cable for short patch runs, device interconnection and mobile stage setups where a compact, flexible Cat5e connection is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this model is 0.3 m for short patching only
• Data rate needs — Cat5e supports up to 100 MHz; choose Cat6/Cat6a for higher bandwidth
• PoE requirements — supports PoE up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003)
• Compatibility with etherCON® housings if using the connector protection

Usage recommendations

Use this Cordial 15554 Cat5e S/UTP patch cable for short device-to-device connections, stage and mobile setups where flexibility, robustness and connector protection are important. Avoid using it for long backbone runs or where greater bandwidth is required.
