VIVOCH RJ45 Strain Relief Boots Cat6 Green 50 pcs

VIVOCH RJ45 Strain Relief Boots Cat6 Green 50 pcs

These green strain-relief boots fit standard RJ45 8P8C modular plugs and accept cable outer diameters from 5 mm to 6 mm. The pack contains fifty pieces made from environmentally protected plastic, intended for installers who terminate Cat5, Cat5E or Cat6 patch cables and want colour-coded identification. The boots slide over the connector to shield the latch tab from snapping during repeated insertion cycles.

Sustained mechanical protection

Under continuous patching and repatching the boot absorbs the bending force that would otherwise concentrate on the cable-to-plug junction, reducing the risk of conductor fatigue. The snug 6 mm boot diameter grips the cable sheath evenly, so the latch tab stays aligned even after hundreds of mating cycles. Dust and moisture ingress at the crystal head is limited by the close fit, helping maintain low contact resistance over time.

Practical limits of the RJ45 interface

The boots are sized for 5 mm to 6 mm cable OD only; thinner or thicker sheaths will not seal correctly and the latch protection will be compromised. They add 1.04 inch length to the plug envelope, so panel cut-outs and cable managers must accommodate the extra depth. Colour coding across the eleven available shades helps traceability, but the boots do not alter the electrical performance category of the underlying cable.
