Network patch cable CORDIAL 15562 Cat5e S/UTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 15 m, Black

The CORDIAL CSE NN 5e PUR data patch cable is a 15 m Cat5e S/UTP (shielded) networking cable with RJ-45 straight male connectors at both ends. It uses a PUR outer jacket for increased mechanical protection and a flexible AWG 26/19 inner conductor construction. The cable includes HIROSE® RJ45 connectors fitted with NEUTRIK® etherCON® style connector protection, a transparent shrink-on tube for easy identification and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W).

Advantages

The cable combines reelable durability and high flexibility, allowing a tight bending radius and repeated handling without damage. Its PUR jacket makes it suitable for mobile indoor and outdoor use, while the S/UTP shielding and Cat5e performance (up to 100 MHz) provide reliable data transmission for audio and lighting network applications. The etherCON-style protection on the RJ45 connectors increases connector robustness and strain resistance in stage and event environments.

Suitable for

• Audio networks and EtherSound™ systems
• Lighting control networks and DMX over Ethernet setups
• Patch connections and device-to-device cabling in mobile rigs
• Stage productions, outdoor transmissions and touring applications

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e S/UTP cable is specified for up to 100 MHz data class and PoE IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W). It may not be suitable where higher data rates, Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances, or higher PoE power levels are required; for those use cases, a Cat6/6a cable or PoE++ certified cabling would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Cable category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield)
• Conductor: AWG 26/19 (19 strands per conductor)
• Outer jacket: PUR (polyurethane), black
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male – both ends
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W), max recommended channel length for PoE: approx. 67 m
• Transparent shrink-on tube for connector identification

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 straight male plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on networking equipment, audio consoles, lighting controllers or powered devices. Route the cable keeping bending within its recommended radius to preserve flexibility and avoid sharp kinks. The PUR jacket allows temporary outdoor use and frequent handling; ensure connectors with etherCON-style protection are fully engaged where applicable. For PoE applications verify connected devices and switches comply with IEEE 802.3af power limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data rate and whether Cat5e (100 MHz) meets your Gigabit or higher-speed needs
• PoE power requirements of your devices (this cable supports up to IEEE 802.3af 15.4 W)
• Environmental exposure and whether PUR jacket durability is sufficient for long-term outdoor installation
• Cable length (15 m) versus run distance needed to avoid signal loss or the need for additional switches

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e S/UTP PUR patch cable for mobile and stage applications, patching between devices, and short to medium-length runs where flexibility and connector protection are priorities. For sustained outdoor permanent installations or higher power/data demands, consider a higher-category or higher-specification cable.
