Shielded Cat5E patch cable for structured wiring
This FireFold C5EMBS-5-BLU cable carries Cat5E shielding and FTP construction to reduce crosstalk in dense installations. The 5 ft blue cord uses four 24AWG stranded pure copper pairs terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends. It is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and tested beyond 600 MHz NEXT performance. Suitable for gigabit links and PoE devices in office or home racks.
Low-profile snagless boots
Each end features a 50 micron gold-plated short-body RJ45 with a low-profile hood designed for high-density switch ports. The snagless boot protects the latch during frequent moves. A CM-rated PVC jacket resists abrasion while staying flexible for routing through cable managers. Shielded FTP wrap and the foil drain maintain grounding continuity across the link.
Passive cable with PoE headroom and no active
As a passive copper assembly it draws no power and generates no noise. The construction supports IEEE 802.3af and is rated for four times the standard PoE current, so connected devices receive stable power without voltage drop. Operating temperature follows the CM jacket rating; no fan, heatsink or external supply is involved.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the 350 MHz FTP rating actually support in practice?
The cable is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and provides NEXT performance beyond 600 MHz, supporting high-speed network applications.
What physical clearance does the low-profile hood need to fit in a high-density switch?
The low-profile hood is designed for high-density switch applications, and the 5 ft length with snagless boots allows routing in tight spaces.
How do you install the 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors without damaging the latch?
Align the RJ45 connector with the port, press firmly until the snagless boot clicks, and avoid pulling the cable at sharp angles to protect the latch.
