Network cable CORDIAL 15556 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Black 1 m

The CORDIAL 15556 networking cable is a 1 m Cat5e S/UTP patch cable with a black PUR jacket and straight RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It uses a flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor, an overall S/UTP shield and HIROSE® RJ45 connectors protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The cable is designed for mobile and stage use, offering reelability, robustness and a small bending radius while supporting data transmission up to Cat5e (100 MHz) and Power over Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W).

Advantages

The PUR outer jacket provides resistance for both indoor and outdoor mobile applications and improves durability in demanding environments. The combination of a flexible AWG 26/19 conductor, TPE-V stabilizer and overall S/UTP shielding ensures a stable signal for audio networks, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems. Built-in NEUTRIK® etherCON® protection on HIROSE® RJ45 connectors increases mechanical reliability during frequent plugging and unplugging.

Suitable for

• Patch cable connections between network devices
• Device connection cables for audio and lighting consoles
• Mobile and stage installations where reelability is required
• Outdoor temporary transmissions in protected conditions
• EtherSound™ systems and other audio-over-Ethernet applications

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e S/UTP cable is specified for up to 100 MHz and Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W); it may not meet requirements for higher-speed networks (Gigabit Ethernet over Cat5e can work but performance depends on environment) or for PoE standards delivering higher power (such as IEEE 802.3at/af variants above 15.4 W). For permanent outdoor burial or direct exposure to extreme weather, a cable specifically rated for those conditions is recommended.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: Overall S/UTP
• Conductor: AWG 26/19, multi-strand
• Outer jacket: PUR (black)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight — both ends
• Supported PoE: IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W)
• Application focus: audio networks, lighting control, EtherSound™

How to use

Connect the straight RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding RJ-45 ports on devices such as mixers, stage switches or lighting controllers. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends beyond its tight bending radius and secure it on reels for transport and storage to preserve flexibility and mechanical protection. Verify PoE power budgets on connected equipment before using the cable to power devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data speed and whether Cat5e (100 MHz) meets your network demands
• PoE power requirements of the devices (max supported 15.4 W)
• Environmental exposure — PUR jacket is robust but not a substitute for burial-grade cable
• Cable length needed; this product is 1 m

Usage recommendations

Use this Cordial Cat5e S/UTP 1 m patch cable for short device interconnects in live events and mobile installations; store on reels when transporting and avoid exceeding the cable's bending radius to maintain signal integrity and connector longevity.
