Nippon Labs Mini Cat6/6A Snag-Proof Strain Relief Boots, Clear, 50-Pack RJ45

A 50-pack of clear snag-proof strain relief boots for mini Cat6 and Cat6A RJ45 plugs, moulded in PVC and sized for cable up to 4.5 mm outside diameter. The boot slides on before you crimp and then covers the locking tab, so the tab cannot catch on a bundle and snap off when a cord is pulled back out of a dense panel.

Good for

• Finishing hand-made patch cords so they survive repeated re-patching.

• Bench and field kits; 50 to a bag is enough for a full patch field.

FAQ

Will these fit my plugs?
They are made to pair with our mini Cat6/6A modular clear plug (part 30PG-68PG-066ARS-100). Boots and plugs are not universal between brands, so match the pair rather than mixing.

What cable diameter do they take?
Up to 4.5 mm outside diameter, which covers slim and mini Cat6/6A cable. Standard 23/24 AWG Cat6A is usually thicker than that and needs a larger boot.

Do I fit the boot before or after crimping?
Before, always. Thread the boot onto the cable, strip and order the pairs, crimp the plug, then slide the boot up over the back of the plug. It cannot be fitted afterwards.
