Ideal 85-379 Strain Relief Boots

Strain relief boots can be used when a new patch cable is being made. The boots need to be placed onto the cable before both connector ends are terminated. The boots help to protect the modular plug body, especially the latch tab, from external handling damage. The strain relief feature on the boots helps to maintain the cable bend radius and limits conductor movement inside of the connector that can lead to continuity failures over time.

Features:

• Prevents broken connector tabs and snagging while extending connector life
• Minimizes cable bends that can reduce data speed and result in data loss
• Dampens cable movement and vibrations that can result in premature connector failure
• Sized for Cat 5e and smaller diameter Cat 6 twisted pair cables
• Fits industry standard RJ-45 8P8C connectors
• 5.5mm diameter cable opening
• Includes 15 each of RJ-45 Cat 5e and blue snagless strain relief boot
• Great for making professional performing and looking custom length cables
• 8 position, 8 contact RJ-45 modular plug for Cat 5e, 100Ω balanced twisted pair 100 MHz cables
• 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating area for long term reliability in connectivity, even after hundreds of mating cycles
• Boots prevent broken connector tabs and snagging while extending connector life
