Cordial Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) network cable 10 m RJ-45 — Black

The Cordial 15581 networking cable is a 10 m Cat7a S/FTP patch cable with a black PUR jacket and RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends. It uses a CCAT 7A PUR bulk cable construction with double S/FTP shielding and an AWG 26/7 flexible conductor, designed for high-bandwidth data transmission up to 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and intended for demanding mobile indoor and outdoor network applications.

Advantages

The PUR outer jacket provides high abrasion, oil, microbe and chemical resistance and allows safe use in mobile, stage and outdoor environments. Double S/FTP shielding reduces interference and supports stable Gigabit-class signals. The flexible AWG 26/7 conductor construction makes the cable easy to route and suitable for frequent handling and patch usage. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af-2003, supplying up to 15.4 watts.

Suitable for

• Audio networks and digital audio transport (e.g., EtherSound™)
• Lighting control and stage installations
• High-performance Ethernet and Gigabit network links
• Device-to-device patching and rack connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for Cat7a performance and flexible mobile use; it may be unnecessary for basic home networks that do not require 1 GHz bandwidth or the ruggedness of a PUR jacket. For installations requiring higher PoE power levels (above 15.4 W) or fixed permanent in-wall wiring, choose a cable and PoE class that meet those specific requirements and local building codes.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Cable category: Cat7a, 1000 MHz
• Shielding: Overall S/FTP (S-STP)
• Conductor: AWG 26/7 (flexible, 7 strands per conductor)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane), black
• Power over Ethernet: supports IEEE 802.3af-2003 (PoE) up to 15.4 W
• Flame retardancy: meets UL 1581 §1090/§1100 (FT2) and IEC 60332-1-2
• Halogen-free: meets EN 50267-2-1 and IEC 60754-1
• Oil and chemical resistance: tested to IEC 60811-2-1, ICEA S-82-552 and ASTM IRM 902

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 straight male connectors to the corresponding network ports on switches, audio or lighting devices, or patch panels. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and crushing; the flexible AWG 26/7 conductor and PUR jacket allow repeated handling and coiling for stage or mobile setups. If using PoE, ensure connected equipment supports IEEE 802.3af and that the required power budget does not exceed 15.4 W per channel. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local regulations and use an appropriate cable type.

What to consider before purchase

• Required bandwidth: Cat7a (1000 MHz) may exceed needs of basic networks
• PoE power requirements: supports up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af)
• Planned environment: PUR jacket for mobile/outdoor use vs. standard PVC for fixed indoor
• Length: 10 m — confirm this suits your cabling layout

Usage recommendations

The Cordial 15581 is suitable for stage, AV and professional networking where a rugged, flexible Cat7a patch cable is needed; avoid using it as permanent in-wall wiring unless local codes and cable specifications permit such installation.
