RJ45 Strain Relief Boot - Single, Snagless Cat5e/Cat6, Mixed Colours (RJ45BM)

A single snagless RJ45 strain relief boot for protecting network cable terminations. Slipped over an RJ45 connector before crimping, the boot shields the delicate release tab from snagging and breaking, extending the working life of every cable you terminate.

Compatible with both Cat5e and Cat6 network cabling, it is an inexpensive but worthwhile addition to any structured cabling job. Colours are supplied assorted, which makes it easy to colour-code cable runs by function or location — a small habit that saves real time when troubleshooting a busy patch panel later.

Good to know

Fit the boot onto the cable before crimping the RJ45 connector, not after — trying to add it afterwards is awkward and can damage the connector. Colour is chosen at random from the assortment, so if you need a specific colour it is worth ordering a few spares. Terminating a whole installation? The same boot is also available as a 100 pack.
