Network cable CORDIAL 15578 Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45, 2 m, Black

The CORDIAL CSE HH 7A PUR patch cable combines CCAT 7A PUR bulk cable with HIROSE® RJ45 connectors to deliver a robust Cat7a S/FTP network connection in a 2 m length. Designed for demanding audio, lighting control and EtherSound™ systems, the cable provides a bandwidth of up to 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and a flexible AWG 26/7 conductor construction suitable for patching and device connections. The PUR outer jacket increases abrasion, oil and chemical resistance, making the cable suitable for mobile indoor and outdoor use while supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) at 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003).

Advantages

The cable’s double S/FTP shielding ensures reliable signal integrity and low interference at high frequencies up to 1000 MHz. A flexible inner conductor (7-strand AWG 26) and a reelable, robust PUR jacket provide mechanical resilience and ease of handling for stage, mobile and installation use. Additional properties include flame retardancy and halogen-free materials, plus resistance to oil, microbes and chemicals.

Suitable for

• Audio network connections and EtherSound™ systems
• Lighting control and stage cabling
• Device patching and short horizontal links (2 m)
• Mobile indoor and outdoor network setups requiring durable jackets

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m patch cable is intended for short links and device connections; it is not designed for permanent long-distance backbone cabling. While it supports PoE at 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003), it does not provide higher PoE power levels required by later PoE standards.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat7a (1000 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Conductor: AWG 26/7, 7 strands per conductor
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane), black
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: up to 15.4 W (complies with IEEE 802.3af-2003)
• Flame retardant: meets UL 1581 §1090/§1100 (FT2) and IEC 60332-1-2
• Halogen-free: meets EN 50267-2-1 and IEC 60754-1
• Resistant to oil and chemicals: meets IEC 60811-2-1, ICEA S-82-552 and ASTM IRM 902

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 straight male connectors into compatible network interfaces on devices, switches or patch panels. Use the 2 m length for short device connections, stage boxes or patch bays. For mobile or outdoor setups, route the cable to avoid sharp edges and excessive bending; the flexible AWG 26/7 conductor and PUR jacket facilitate repeated handling and coiling.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: short patch and device connections (2 m) rather than long permanent runs
• Power needs: supports PoE at 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af) but not higher PoE classes
• Environmental conditions: PUR jacket offers good abrasion, oil and chemical resistance for mobile or outdoor use
• Compatibility: requires RJ-45 interfaces and Cat7a-capable equipment to fully utilise bandwidth

Usage recommendations

For stage, studio or mobile installations, keep cable runs short and avoid tight bends; store coiled without kinks to preserve the flexible AWG 26/7 conductors and the PUR jacket’s protective properties.
