Platinum Tools RJ45 Colored Boots 8.5mm Red 25-Pack

SKU CH-8Q1E-J386J

Protects RJ45 plugs on cables up to 8.5 mm diameter with durable PVC boots in a 25-pack

  • Protects RJ45 plugs with durable PVC construction
  • Fits large Cat6A cables up to 8.5mm outer diameter
  • Red color enables quick cable identification and organization
  • Compatible with Platinum Tools ezEX-RJ45 and standard connectors
  • 25-pack supplies multiple cable ends for project needs

What it is and who it's for

These red RJ45 boots protect Cat6A cable ends during termination. They suit installers and DIY builders who need strain relief and colour coding for multiple runs. The 25-pack covers small to medium projects without excess stock. They are not for users terminating cables thicker than 8.5 mm or those needing boots for fibre or coaxial connectors.

Capacity and headroom

Each boot accepts a maximum outer diameter of 8.5 mm (.334 in), matching large Cat6A jackets. The PVC material resists cracking during repeated flexing and maintains a waterproof seal at the connector. Performance drops off when cables exceed the stated diameter or when used with non-standard RJ45 bodies that prevent full seating.

How it fits into a build

The boots slide over standard Platinum Tools ezEX-RJ45 and similar connectors before crimping. Red colour allows quick visual tracing in dense panels. The bagged 25-count keeps bench inventory simple. They do not replace cable-management trays, patch-panel labelling or tested cable certifiers.

Questions about this item

Will these boots fit over the thicker Cat6A patch cables I already have terminated with standard RJ45 plugs?

Yes, they are designed for large Cat6A cables and Platinum Tools standard RJ-45 connectors including ezEX-RJ45, with a maximum outer diameter of 8.5mm or 0.334 inches.

How can I verify the boots are seated correctly after sliding them onto my finished patch cords?

Each boot should sit flush against the connector body, the latch tab must click freely, and the 8.5mm opening should grip the cable jacket without gaps.

Does the 25-pack bag include any connectors or tools, or just the red PVC boots themselves?

Only the 25 red RJ45 colored boots are supplied; RJ45 plugs and crimping tools must be purchased separately.
