[PLUG-TALK] Where to purchase a 12 inch fire resistant ethernet cable?

[Keith Lofstrom]

The Emporia Vue is installed in my load center, almost
ready to go.  Wired Cat5 ethernet through a knockout on
the bottom of the box, connecting to an SLRKIT POE switch
inches away.  Three inches of patch cable inside the box;
perhaps a code violation.

That "ordinary" 12 inch patch cable is NOT fire resistant.
Out of absurdly obsessive caution, and fear of obsessive
county inspectors, I would like to purchase (or make) a
fire resistant 12 inch patch cable.

Does anyone know (for sure) of a source of fire-resistant
short Cat5E patch cables?  Alternately, does anyone have a
one-foot-too-long spool of fire-resistant Cat5E cable, so
I can make my own short patch cable?

P.S. The SLRKIT switch "firewalls" my ethernet cable network 
from hypothetical electrical mischief inside the load center
or the Vue. 

Such mischief is VERY unlikely to create a safety hazard for
me or my ethernet switches, but over 70+ years I have been
bitten by MANY "unlikely" hazards.  I plan to live long enough
care for my wife after she turns 120, decades from now (her
father will be 108 yo in April 2026).

P.P.S.  The Vue will be "ready" after I learn about Wireshark,
so I can monitor the little devil when I connect it to the
internet.  Then replace the Emporia connection with my own.

P.P.P.S. The extra length Vue-to-sensor wires will be trimmed
"someday".  For now, the "extra" length is neatly bundled 
inside the load center with 889-fire-retardant Velcro tape.  
I have yards of extra 889 tape.

P.P.P.P.S.  Too many damned "quotation marks" above.  
So sue me in Grammar Court.
