Network patch cable CORDIAL 15555 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ‑45–RJ‑45 0.5 m Black

The Cordial 15555 networking cable is a 0.5 m Cat5e S/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends and a black PUR jacket. It uses a flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor with 19 strands per conductor, an overall S/UTP shield and HIROSE® RJ45 plugs combined with NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The cable is designed for reliable signal transmission in audio networks, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems and supports PoE according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 (up to 15.4 W).

Advantages

The Cordial 15555 combines a robust, reelable PUR outer jacket with high flexibility and a tight bending radius, making it suitable for mobile indoor and outdoor use. The AWG 26/19 stranded conductors and overall S/UTP shielding provide stable data transmission up to Cat5e (100 MHz), while the protected HIROSE® RJ45 connectors increase connector durability in live environments. A transparent shrink-on tube at the connector simplifies cable identification.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network devices and switches
• Device connection cables for audio and lighting equipment
• Stage operations and touring where cables are frequently rolled and unrolled
• Outdoor temporary installations and mobile setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specified to Cat5e (100 MHz) and therefore is not suitable where higher bandwidths or Gigabit performance over longer channels are required. It is optimized for mobile and stage use rather than permanent in-wall installation where specific in-wall rated cables are needed.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: Overall S/UTP
• Conductor construction: AWG 26/19 (19 strands per conductor)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• Outer jacket: PUR (suitable for mobile indoor/outdoor use)
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af-2003, up to 15.4 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 straight male plug to the network port of your device and the other end to a switch, router or compatible audio/lighting interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. For PoE-powered devices, verify that the switch or injector complies with IEEE 802.3af-2003 and that the powered device’s power requirements do not exceed 15.4 W. When using on stage or in mobile setups, roll and unroll the cable carefully to preserve the PUR jacket and maintain flexibility.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length: 0.5 m
• Bandwidth needs: Cat5e (100 MHz) — not suitable for higher-category requirements
• Installation environment: suitable for mobile/temporary outdoor use but not intended for permanent in-wall installation
• PoE power limits: supports up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af)

Usage recommendations

For stage and touring applications, store the Cordial 15555 on reels and avoid sharp bends near the connectors. Use compatible etherCON® chassis or connector protection where available to increase connector durability during frequent connections and disconnections.
