Cordial ECLCSE50-NN5-SD - 50-meter Cat5e EtherCon Network Reel
The Cordial ECLCSE50-NN5-SD network cable reel is a professional 50-meter solution designed for mobile applications that demand maximum reliability and durability. Mounted on a robust Schill GT 310 drum, this Cat 5e cable is ideal for data transmission in demanding environments such as live events, recording studios, audiovisual productions, and lighting control applications. Its high-quality construction ensures a stable and secure connection for networked audio systems like Dante or EtherSound™, as well as for any standard network application.
The cable features overall S/UTP (Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding with a tinned copper braid, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) and ensuring a clean, uninterrupted signal. The connectors are the renowned Neutrik etherCON (NE8MX-B-1), which offer a robust metal housing to protect the internal RJ45 connector, guaranteeing a secure connection resistant to strain, dust, and moisture.
Main features
-
Professional Length: 50 meters of highly flexible cable, perfect for covering large distances on stages, sets and events.
-
Neutrik etherCON connectors: Equipped with Neutrik connectors that ensure a robust, locking network connection, protecting the internal RJ45 from physical damage.
-
High Performance Cat 5e Cable: Compliant with the Cat 5e standard, allowing data transmissions up to 100 MHz, ideal for digital audio networks, lighting control and Ethernet.
-
PUR Coating: The outer polyurethane (PUR) coating is extremely resistant to abrasion, oils and chemicals, as well as being very flexible, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor use.
-
Schill GT 310 Drum: It comes wound on a high-quality Schill cable drum, manufactured in Germany, which facilitates quick and orderly deployment and retrieval, preventing tangles and damage to the cable.
-
Robust Construction: Stranded copper conductors (AWG 26/19) that offer great flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue, unlike solid conductor cables.
-
Superior Shielding: The S/UTP shielding with tinned copper braid protects the integrity of the signal in environments with high electrical interference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable outdoors?
Yes, the polyurethane (PUR) coating is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, being resistant to abrasion and moisture. However, the connectors are not completely watertight, so direct immersion in water should be avoided.
Is it compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks?
The Cat 5e standard supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over shorter distances. For a length of 50 meters, the performance is optimal for intended applications, such as audio over IP and lighting control, which generally do not require the full bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet.
Are etherCON connectors compatible with standard RJ45 ports?
Yes, the etherCON connector is designed to be compatible with standard RJ45 sockets. The outer casing provides protection and a locking mechanism, but the internal RJ45 connector fits seamlessly into any conventional network port.
Does the cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable is compatible with the PoE standard (IEEE 802.3af), allowing compatible devices to be powered directly through the network cable.
Project description
50-meter reel of Cat 5e network cable, mounted on a Schill GT 310 cable drum. The cable has a black polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket and a total diameter of 6.5 mm. The internal structure consists of 4 twisted pairs of flexible AWG 26/19 copper conductors. It features overall S/UTP shielding using tinned copper braid. Both ends are terminated with Neutrik etherCON connectors (model NE8MX-B-1) protecting an RJ45 connector. It complies with the Cat 5e standard for a bandwidth of 100 MHz and is suitable for PoE applications (IEEE 802.3af).
