Networking cable CORDIAL 15559 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ‑45–RJ‑45 3 m Black

The CORDIAL CSE NN 5e PUR data patch cable (3 m) is a Cat5e S/UTP networking cable designed for mobile and stage applications. It combines a PUR outer jacket with a flexible AWG 26/19 conductor construction and HIROSE® RJ45 plugs protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The cable is reelable, mechanically robust and supports EtherSound™, audio networks, lighting control and standard Ethernet connections with PoE support up to IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W).

Advantages

This Cat5e S/UTP cable offers a balance of flexibility and durability thanks to its PUR jacket and 19-strand AWG 26/19 conductors, allowing tight bending radii and frequent handling on stage or in mobile setups. The HIROSE® RJ45 connectors with NEUTRIK® etherCON® protection improve connector security and durability, while the transparent shrink-on tube enables easy cable identification. The cable is reelable for convenient storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Audio network connections (EtherSound™)
• Lighting control systems
• Patch and device connection cables in mobile and stage environments
• Outdoor transmissions where a flexible, robust jacket is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specified for Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and supports PoE IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W). It is not intended for applications that require higher Ethernet classes (such as Cat6/Cat6a) or higher PoE power delivery standards (e.g., IEEE 802.3at/at+ or higher). For fixed in-wall permanent installations, plenum-rated or specific IT cabling standards may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield)
• Conductor: AWG 26/19 (19 strands per conductor)
• Outer jacket: PUR (suitable for mobile indoor/outdoor use)
• Connectors: RJ45 straight male – RJ45 straight male with HIROSE® plugs and NEUTRIK® etherCON® protection
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W), max channel length for PoE at specified power: 67 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to your network device and the other to a switch, patch panel or another device requiring a Cat5e connection. Ensure the etherCON® protective housing is properly engaged if used with compatible chassis or couplers. The cable’s flexibility and reelable design make it suitable for repeated deployment and winding onto cable drums; avoid excessive mechanical strain or sharp kinks to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required Ethernet category (Cat5e is suitable for 100 Mbps / 100 MHz networks)
• Needed PoE power level (supports IEEE 802.3af up to 15.4 W)
• Environmental demands (PUR jacket offers improved durability for mobile/outdoor use)
• Connector compatibility with existing etherCON®-equipped hardware

Usage recommendations

Use this CORDIAL Cat5e S/UTP patch cable for stage, mobile and outdoor networking tasks where a flexible, robust cable and protected RJ45 connectors simplify frequent deployments. Store the cable on a reel to maintain bending radius and avoid tight kinks; for higher bandwidth or PoE requirements, select a higher category cable or a higher PoE-capable solution.
