Network cable CORDIAL 15561 Cat5e S/UTP patch cable 10 m RJ‑45 black

The CORDIAL CSE NN 5e PUR patch cable is a 10 m Cat5e S/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 plugs at both ends and a black PUR jacket. It combines a flexible AWG 26/19 stranded conductor, overall S/UTP screening and HIROSE® RJ45 connectors protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® style cable protection. The cable is designed for audio networks, lighting control, EtherSound™ systems, device connections and mobile or stage use, and supports PoE according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 (15.4 W).

Advantages

The cable is highly flexible and reelable while remaining robust for repeated handling in mobile and stage environments. The PUR outer jacket provides resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor temporary use, and the AWG 26/19 conductor with multiple strands gives improved bending characteristics and mechanical resilience. Transparent heat-shrink tubing on the connector ends allows easy identification.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network devices
• Audio-over-Ethernet and EtherSound™ installations
• Lighting control and stage cabling
• Mobile applications and temporary outdoor runs

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e S/UTP cable is specified for data class 5e (100 MHz) and PoE up to 15.4 W; it is not intended for higher-speed networks that require Cat6/6a or for PoE++ applications with higher power delivery. For permanent outdoor burial or fixed installation in conduit that requires specific flame or UV ratings, a cable with the appropriate certification should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e S/UTP (overall shielded)
• Length: 10 m
• Conductor: AWG 26/19, stranded
• Jacket material: PUR (black)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends, HIROSE® with etherCON® style protection
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz (Cat5e)
• PoE: IEEE 802.3af-2003, max. 15.4 W (specified reach depends on installation)

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to compatible Ethernet ports on networking equipment, audio interfaces or lighting controllers. Route the cable with attention to its tight bending radius to maintain signal integrity and take advantage of the flexible AWG 26/19 conductor when coiling on reels for transport. Use the protective etherCON®-style connector housing where available to secure connector strain relief in stage or mobile setups.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network performance (Cat5e supports up to 100 MHz; for higher data rates, consider Cat6 or above)
• PoE power needs (this cable supports IEEE 802.3af up to 15.4 W)
• Installation environment (temporary outdoor use is suitable; permanent burial or harsh fixed installations may need specialized cable)

Usage recommendations

For stage and mobile use, store the cable loosely coiled on reels to preserve flexibility and avoid tight bends. Verify connector compatibility with etherCON®-style housings when using in professional rack or stage systems. For higher bandwidth or power requirements, choose an appropriate higher-category cable or PoE class.
