Network cable CORDIAL 15576 — Cat7a S/FTP (S‑STP), RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 1 m, Black

CORDIAL 15576 is a 1 m Cat7a patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses a PUR outer jacket and a flexible AWG 26/7 conductor construction, providing a combination of high data bandwidth and mechanical robustness. Designed for demanding network connections, it supports Gigabit‑class Ethernet frequencies up to 1000 MHz and is intended for short links such as patch panels, switches and equipment connections where advanced shielding and environmental resistance are required.

Advantages

The double S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more reliable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments. The PUR jacket increases abrasion, oil and chemical resistance compared with standard PVC jackets, making the cable suitable for mobile indoor and protected outdoor use. Flexible stranded conductors (7‑wire AWG 26) simplify routing and repeated bending in patching scenarios. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) at up to 15.4 W according to IEEE 802.3af-2003 for powering compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Short in‑rack and patch panel connections
• Switch-to-device and switch-to-switch links in shielded installations
• Audio, lighting control and EtherSound™ network segments
• Mobile and stage applications requiring abrasion and oil resistance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7a data class (1000 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Conductor: stranded AWG 26, 7 strands per conductor
• Connectors: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male, straight
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane) for enhanced abrasion and chemical resistance
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af)
• Flame and halogen properties: flame‑retardant and halogen‑free per relevant standards
• Environmental resistance: oil, microbe, sludge and ozone resistant per applicable tests

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port to establish a shielded Ethernet link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locking tabs engage. For best screening performance, make sure both ends of the link use shielded connectors and the connected equipment supports shield termination. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use CORDIAL 15576 for short patch and device connections within shielded installations and in applications where a robust PUR jacket is beneficial. When deploying PoE, verify device compatibility with IEEE 802.3af and observe maximum effective cable run lengths for the required power delivery. Keep the cable free from excessive heat and compressive loads to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
