Network patch cable CORDIAL 15587 Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Black 0.5 m

The CORDIAL CSE NN 7A PUR data patch cable (Cordial 15587) is a 0.5 m Cat7a network patch cable with a black PUR jacket and RJ45 straight male connectors. It combines CCAT 7A PUR bulk cable with HIROSE® RJ45 plugs and NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection, designed for high-performance audio and lighting network applications. The cable supports Cat7a data class transmission up to 1000 MHz (1 GHz) thanks to its double S/FTP shielding and uses a flexible AWG 26/7 conductor construction suitable for patching and device connections. The PUR outer jacket provides resistance to abrasion, oil, microbes and chemicals, making the cable appropriate for mobile indoor and outdoor use, stage deployments and other demanding environments. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) with an output of 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003).

Advantages

This Cat7a S/FTP patch cable delivers high bandwidth (1000 MHz) and strong electromagnetic shielding for reliable signal transmission in professional networks. The flexible AWG 26/7 inner conductors make it easy to route and terminate in tight spaces, while the robust PUR jacket increases durability against mechanical stress, abrasion and environmental factors. Integrated connector protection enhances connector durability during frequent handling and live event usage. Support for PoE (15.4 W) extends the cable’s applicability to powered network devices within the specified range.

Suitable for

• Audio network connections (e.g., Dante, EtherSound™)
• Lighting control networks and show control systems
• Patch connections between devices and switches in mobile rigs and stage setups
• Short-length links requiring Cat7a performance and robust mechanical protection

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is intended for short device-to-device or patch-panel connections; it is not suitable for long-distance backbone runs. While it supports PoE at 15.4 W, it does not provide higher PoE power classes required by some modern devices and therefore may not be suitable where higher PoE wattage or longer PoE-enabled channel lengths are needed.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable category: Cat7a (1000 MHz)
• Shielding: Overall S/FTP (S-STP)
• Conductor: AWG 26/7 (flexible, 7 strands)
• Outer jacket: PUR (abrasion-, oil- and chemical-resistant)
• Connectors: RJ45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 straight male end to the network device and the other end to the switch, router or patch panel. Use the 0.5 m cable for short patch runs where Cat7a performance and mechanical robustness are required, for example between stage boxes, patch panels and devices. Avoid sharp bends at the connector transition and do not subject the cable to excessive tensile loads to maintain signal integrity and connector life.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.5 m and intended for short connections
• Power requirements of connected devices — PoE is limited to 15.4 W
• Whether Cat7a performance (1000 MHz) and S/FTP shielding are necessary for your application
• Environmental exposure — PUR jacket provides improved resistance for mobile and outdoor use

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat7a PUR patch cable for short, high-performance connections in audio and lighting networks, secure connectors with the provided etherCON® protection when applicable, and avoid excessive bending or pulling to preserve cable and connector longevity.
