Product Identity
The FireFold C5EMBS-7-WHT is a Cat 5E shielded Ethernet patch cable measuring 7 ft in white. It uses 4 UTP 24AWG stranded pure copper conductors with 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors and a CM-rated PVC jacket. The cable is UL/cUL listed and meets TIA/EIA-568 standards.
Who It Suits
Installers needing a short, shielded patch lead for PoE devices in dense switch panels will benefit from the low-profile snagless boots and 4× PoE headroom. The FTP construction and NEXT performance beyond 600 MHz support reliable 350 MHz bandwidth. Buyers who need longer reach or higher category ratings for multi-gigabit links should choose a different specification.
Deciding Specification
The single specification that decides fit is the Cat 5E shielded rating at 7 ft, which defines the maximum bandwidth of 350 MHz and the PoE power capacity for connected devices.

Questions about this item
What clearance does the low-profile hood need on a high-density switch?
The low-profile hood is designed for high-density switch applications, so it fits in tight port spacing without blocking adjacent ports.
How do you seat the snagless boot correctly without damaging the latch?
Push the connector straight in until the latch clicks; the molded strain-relief boot prevents the tab from catching on nearby cables during insertion or removal.
When should the CM-rated PVC jacket be inspected or the cable replaced?
Inspect the jacket for cuts, kinks or crush marks after any re-routing; replace the cable if the PVC shows cracking or the gold-plated contacts become corroded.
