RJ45 Strain Relief Boots are stress relief boots designed to protect RJ45 network connectors, usually installed between network cables and RJ45 connectors. Its main function is to protect the connector from dust, oxidation, moisture and external physical damage, while extending the service life of RJ45 crystal heads and network cables. This protective cover is widely used in various network devices and environments.

Function of RJ45 Strain Relief Boots

Dustproof and anti-oxidation:

Protect the RJ45 connector from dust and oxidation, ensuring contact stability during long-term use.

Extend life:

Avoid wear or damage to the network cable due to frequent plugging, pulling or external stress, and extend the life of the network cable and the crystal head.

Prevent bending damage:

Limit the bending radius of the network cable to avoid internal copper core breakage or signal attenuation caused by excessive bending or twisting.

Sealing protection:

Prevent moisture and dust from entering the RJ45 connector to ensure stable signal transmission.

* The RJ45 boots cover protects RJ45 connectors from dust and Oxidation extending the RJ plug’s life time.

* Size : 2.7cm x 1.5cm X 1.6cm/1" x 0.6" x 0.6"(L*W*H) Material : Soft Plastic; Net Weight : 1.62g; Colour: Gray

Features of RJ45 Strain Relief Boots

50 micron gold-plated contacts:

The gold-plated layer on the contact surface is 50 microns thick, providing excellent corrosion resistance and signal conductivity, ensuring stable performance under long-term use.

No-cable boot design:

Prevents cable jam problems, improves the convenience of plugging and unplugging, and effectively reduces the risk of connector damage.

Molded stress relief:

Flexible protection is formed at the connection between the plug and the network cable to disperse external forces and prevent the connector from falling off or being damaged due to tension.

UL certification:

Complies with UL international safety certification standards to ensure maximum safety and reliability.

Highly durable materials:

Made of tough and wear-resistant PVC or silicone materials, with excellent anti-aging properties.

Advantages of RJ45 Strain Relief Boots

Protect network connectors:

Prevent the contacts of the crystal head from oxidation or contamination caused by the external environment, and extend the life of the connector.

FAQ 

Q1: What specifications of network cables are suitable for RJ45 Strain Relief Boots?

A1: This protective cover is usually suitable for Cat5e and Cat6 network cables. The specific model should be selected according to the outer diameter of the network cable and the size of the RJ45 connector.

Q2: How to install RJ45 Strain Relief Boots correctly?

A2: First put the protective cover on the network cable, then perform the crystal plug wiring operation, and finally push the protective cover into the tail of the crystal plug to ensure a tight fit.

Q3: Will the use of the protective cover affect signal transmission?

A3: No. The main function of the protective cover is physical protection and will not affect signal transmission.

Q4: Can the protective cover be reused?

A4: It is usually not recommended to reuse it, because the protective cover may be deformed or damaged after removal, affecting the protection effect.

Q5: Can the protective cover be used normally in a high temperature environment?

A5: High-quality RJ45 Strain Relief Boots usually use heat-resistant materials and can be used in a certain high temperature environment, but it is recommended to avoid exceeding the temperature tolerance range of the material.

Q6: Will the cable weight increase after installing the protective cover?

A6: RJ45 Strain Relief Boots are light in weight and will not have a significant impact on the use of the cable.

As an important protective component for network cables and connectors, RJ45 Strain Relief Boots have the advantages of strong corrosion resistance, high durability, and convenient operation. It is widely used in network connections of PC, TV box, HUB, router and other devices, providing users with a more stable and secure network experience. In modern network equipment, the use of protective covers not only extends the life of the cable, but also effectively improves the overall network performance.
