Kabelbeschermtule ACT RJ45 geel voor 5,5 mm kabel

The ACT RJ45 yellow boot for 5.5 mm cable is a protective cover designed to fit over RJ‑45 connectors and the cable jacket. Made to accommodate cables with an outer diameter around 5.5 mm, this boot provides strain relief at the connector exit, reduces accidental latch breakage and protects the plug from dust and mechanical wear. The pack contains 25 pieces and the product complies with CE and RoHS standards. The bright yellow colour improves visibility in patch panels and network runs.

Advantages

The boot offers targeted strain relief to extend the life of RJ‑45 connections and to prevent premature cable or clip damage. Its flexible material allows easy installation over standard 5.5 mm cables while maintaining a secure fit. The yellow colour aids cable identification and visual management during installation and maintenance. Compliance with CE and RoHS ensures the materials meet safety and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patch cables with outer diameter approximately 5.5 mm
• Network installations requiring visible colour coding
• Patch panels, switches and wall outlets where connector protection is needed
• Field or lab environments where strain relief and dust protection are desired

Key specifications

• Compatible cable outer diameter: designed for approximately 5.5 mm
• Colour: yellow for easy identification
• Material: flexible protective polymer (non-conductive)
• Pack quantity: 25 pieces
• Standards: manufactured to meet CE and RoHS requirements

How to use

Slide the boot onto the cable before crimping the RJ‑45 plug so the boot can be moved forward over the completed connector. After crimping, push the boot over the plug until it seats against the connector body to provide strain relief and protect the latch area. Ensure the cable diameter matches the boot size to achieve a snug fit and correct strain distribution.

Recommendations

For best results, use these boots on cables with an outer diameter near 5.5 mm and verify fit before large-scale deployment. Use colour-coded boots to simplify cable management and documentation. Avoid over-stretching the material during installation to maintain protective properties.
