Network patch cable CORDIAL 15575 Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45–RJ45 Black 0.5 m

The Cordial 15575 networking cable is a 0.5 m Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) patch cable in black with a durable PUR jacket and HIROSE® RJ45 connectors. It uses CCAT 7A PUR bulk cable with double S/FTP shielding to deliver CAT 7A class performance up to 1000 MHz (1 GHz). The construction includes a flexible AWG 26/7 conductor, making it suitable for device connections and patching in demanding mobile, stage or outdoor indoor applications while offering resistance to abrasion, oil, microbes and chemicals. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 with up to 15.4 W output.

Advantages

This Cordial Cat7a patch cable combines high bandwidth performance (1000 MHz) with a robust, reelable PUR jacket that protects against mechanical stress and environmental influences. Double S/FTP shielding reduces interference for stable data transmission, while the flexible AWG 26/7 conductor simplifies routing and connector termination. The cable is flame-retardant and halogen-free and offers tested resistance to oil, ozone, microbes and certain chemicals, extending its suitability for mobile and stage use. It also supports PoE (15.4 W), widening its practical applications.

Suitable for

• High-performance network patching and device connections in studios and live events
• Audio network systems, lighting control and EtherSound™ setups
• Mobile indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where abrasion and oil resistance are required

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs; its short length limits use to patching and device interconnects. It is designed for sheltered outdoor and mobile use but is not specified as a fully outdoor buried or permanently exposed weatherproof cable.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable category: Cat7a (1000 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil per pair)
• Conductor: AWG 26/7 (flexible, 7 strands)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male – RJ-45 straight male (HIROSE®)
• Jacket material: PUR (abrasion-, oil- and chemical-resistant)
• Power over Ethernet: supports IEEE 802.3af-2003 (PoE) up to 15.4 W
• Fire and safety: flame-retardant (UL 1581 §1090/§1100 FT2, IEC 60332-1-2), halogen-free
• Resistances: oil-resistant, microbe-resistant, ozone-resistant, sludge resistance, good chemical compatibility (diesel, kerosene, petroleum)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Use the Cordial 15575 as a short patch cable between network ports, switches, audio interfaces, lighting controllers or other Ethernet-enabled devices. Plug the RJ-45 straight male connectors into the corresponding RJ-45 ports, ensuring secure seating. The flexible AWG 26/7 conductor and PUR jacket allow easy routing on stage or in mobile racks; avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and protect the connectors from direct mechanical impact to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — 0.5 m is suitable for patching and short device links only
• Intended environment — suitable for mobile and sheltered outdoor use but not for permanent burial or full outdoor exposure
• PoE needs — supports up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af); verify power requirements of connected devices
• Shielding requirement — S/FTP is recommended where EMI/RFI protection is needed

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat7a S/FTP patch cable for short interconnects in audio, lighting control and networked equipment racks; avoid tightly coiling the cable and protect connector ends during transport and live events.
