DSIT DANICOM RJ45 knikbescherming boot groen 10-pack

Network technicians and DIY enthusiasts who build custom Ethernet cables know the frustration of a broken locking tab or a kinked cable at the connector. These green RJ45 strain relief boots from DSIT DANICOM slide over the cable before crimping, protecting the connector-to-cable junction from sharp bends and accidental snags. The pack contains 10 identical boots, enough for five patch cables, making them a practical addition to any cabling toolkit.

Why choose it

The anti-snag design prevents the connector's locking tab from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing accidental disconnections. The flexible PVC absorbs stress at the cable exit, extending the life of your patch cords. Green colour allows quick visual identification of network segments, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

Ideal use cases

• Assembling custom patch cables for structured cabling projects
• Repairing damaged strain relief on existing cables
• Colour-coding network drops by VLAN, department, or function
• Protecting cables in high-movement areas such as desks or server racks

Good to know

Install the boot before crimping the RJ45 connector. Slide the boot onto the cable with the narrow end first, then terminate the connector as usual. The boot should be positioned so that the wider end covers the rear of the connector. These boots are supplied in a polybag and are part of the DANICOM DC-RJ45 series.
