Cordial ECLCSE100-NN5-SD - 100m Cat5e EtherCon Network Cable Reel
The Cordial ECLCSE100-NN5-SD network cable reel is a professional 100-meter solution, specifically designed for the most demanding applications in professional audio, video, and lighting environments. This system combines a high-end data cable with highly durable components, guaranteeing reliable and stable signal transmission on tours, at live events, in studios, and on location. Its robust and flexible design makes it the preferred choice for technicians and professionals in the industry who cannot afford connection failures.
The core of this product is the LONGRUN CCAT 5e PUR bulk data cable, a market benchmark for its exceptional construction. This Cat5e cable features double shielding (SF/UTP) that effectively protects the signal against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Furthermore, its solid copper inner conductor (AWG 24/1) and internal structure with a PE cross-separator ensure lossless data transmission up to 100 MHz, even over long distances. The polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket provides superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions, while maintaining remarkable flexibility for easy handling and coiling.
To ensure a reliable physical connection, the cable is terminated with high-quality HIROSE® RJ45 connectors, protected by the robust and renowned NEUTRIK® etherCON® housing. This connector system not only protects the RJ45 retention clip from breakage but also provides a secure push-pull locking mechanism, preventing accidental disconnections. The entire assembly is packaged on an extremely durable SCHILL® GT 310 cable reel, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use on tours and during setups, facilitating quick and tidy deployment and retrieval.

Benefits for the professional
The Cordial ECLCSE100-NN5-SD is designed to offer professionals maximum peace of mind. Its robust construction minimizes the risk of connection failures, a critical factor in live events. The cable's flexibility and the quality of the SCHILL® drum optimize setup and teardown times. etherCON® protection prevents the most common problems associated with standard RJ45 connectors, ensuring a significantly longer equipment lifespan. The ability to transmit both data and power (PoE) over a single cable simplifies installations, reducing clutter and the need for additional cabling.
Use cases
This system is the perfect solution for a wide variety of professional applications, including:
-
Digital Audio Networks: Connecting mixing consoles, stage boxes, and other equipment that use protocols such as Dante, EtherSound, or AVB.
-
Lighting Control: Reliable link for network-based lighting control systems, such as Art-Net or sACN.
-
Video over IP Transmission: Ideal for network video systems that require stable bandwidth and a secure connection.
-
Mobile and Touring Applications: Its robustness makes it perfect for intensive use on tours, festivals and outdoor corporate events.
-
Demanding Fixed Installations: Theaters, auditoriums and convention centers where the reliability of the cabling is paramount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable for a standard home internet connection?
While technically compatible, this cable is oversized and designed for professional environments with high demands for durability and interference protection. For home use, a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable is usually sufficient and more economical.
What real advantage do etherCON® connectors offer over standard RJ45 connectors?
etherCON® connectors add a robust metal housing around the RJ45 connector. This provides a secure locking system that prevents accidental disconnections, protects the fragile plastic tab of the RJ45, and seals the connection against dust and moisture, dramatically increasing reliability and lifespan in demanding environments.
Is this cable compatible with equipment that requires Cat6 or higher?
This cable is Cat5e, meaning it's specified for speeds up to 1 Gigabit/s (1000BASE-T) and frequencies up to 100 MHz. It's compatible with all equipment that requires Cat5 or Cat5e. However, it won't meet the bandwidth requirements of networks that specifically require Cat6 (250 MHz) or Cat6a (500 MHz).
Is the PUR cover very rigid? Is it difficult to roll up?
Despite its extreme strength, the polyurethane (PUR) sheath is designed to be highly flexible, even at low temperatures. This, combined with the high-quality SCHILL® drum, makes the cable easy to deploy and wind without twisting or tangling.
