Network cable CORDIAL 15588 Cat7a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 Black 1 m

The CORDIAL CSE NN 7A PUR patch cable (Cordial 15588) is a 1 m Cat7a network cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, designed for high-performance audio, lighting control and EtherSound™ networks. It combines a CCAT 7A PUR outer jacket with HIROSE® RJ45 connectors protected by NEUTRIK® etherCON® cable connector protection. The cable supports transmission up to 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and is built for mobile indoor and outdoor use thanks to a robust, abrasion- and oil-resistant PUR jacket and a flexible AWG 26/7 conductor construction.

Advantages

The cable offers double S/FTP shielding for reliable Cat7a signal integrity at high bandwidths and reduced interference. Its PUR jacket provides high abrasion resistance and resistance to oil, microbes and chemicals, making it suitable for stage and mobile use. Flexible inner conductors (AWG 26/7) make the cable easy to route and suitable for patching and device connections, while compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows supplying connected devices with up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003).

Suitable for

• Audio network installations (EtherSound™)
• Lighting control and DMX-over-IP systems
• High-bandwidth Ethernet patching and device connections
• Mobile stage and live-event network setups

When it may not be suitable

This Cat7a S/FTP patch cable is designed for professional and mobile applications; it may be over-specified for simple home networking where lower-category cables (Cat5e/Cat6) would suffice. Also, while it supports PoE at 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af), it does not guarantee higher-power PoE++ standards beyond the specified output.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable category: Cat7a (1000 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor: AWG 26/7 (stranded, 7 strands per conductor)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane), black
• PoE support: up to 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af-2003), typical channel range up to 70 m at specified PoE
• Flame-retardant: UL 1581 §1090/§1100 (FT2), IEC 60332-1-2
• Halogen-free: EN 50267-2-1, IEC 60754-1
• Oil-resistant and chemically resistant according to relevant standards

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 straight male connectors to the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, audio interfaces, lighting controllers or networked stage equipment. Route the cable as needed for patching or device connections, taking advantage of the flexible AWG 26/7 conductors for tight bends. For outdoor or mobile use, ensure connectors and any exposed connections are protected against moisture and mechanical stress; the PUR jacket improves durability in demanding conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and number of patch connections
• Whether Cat7a performance (1000 MHz) is necessary for your application
• PoE power requirements of connected devices (supports up to 15.4 W)
• Environmental conditions — suitability for mobile, stage or outdoor use
• Connector compatibility with your equipment (RJ-45 ports)

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat7a S/FTP cable for professional audio and lighting networks and in mobile stage environments; avoid exposing connector ends to direct moisture and inspect cable integrity periodically when used outdoors.
