Cable boot ACT TT4521 RJ45 red for 6.5 mm cable

The ACT RJ45 red boot for 6.5 mm cable is a protective accessory designed to fit over RJ45 connectors and provide strain relief, connector protection and color-coded identification in network installations. Supplied in packs of 25 pieces, this boot is made from durable material and certified to CE and RoHS standards, offering reliable physical protection while helping to organize patch panels, cabling runs and network endpoints.

Advantages

The boot reduces pull and bending stress at the connector, limiting damage to cable conductors and RJ45 plugs. Its red color improves visual identification and cable management in dense installations. Manufactured from a resilient polymer, the boot resists everyday wear and maintains its shape when plugged and unplugged multiple times. Certification to CE and RoHS indicates conformity with applicable safety and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Shielding and strain relief for Ethernet patch cables with an outer diameter of approximately 6.5 mm
• Color-coding cables in data centers, offices and telecom cabinets
• Protecting RJ45 connectors during frequent reconnections and transport

Key specifications

• Compatible cable outer diameter: 6.5 mm
• Product colour: Red
• Pack quantity: 25 pieces
• Material: durable flexible polymer (non-metallic)
• Standards: CE and RoHS compliant

How to use

Slide the boot over the cable before fitting the RJ45 connector or push it onto the assembled plug so the narrower end covers the connector latch area and the wider end sits against the cable jacket. Ensure the boot fully covers the plug shoulder to provide effective strain relief. When removing, gently pull the boot back along the cable to avoid stretching the material or stressing the plug latching mechanism.

Recommendations

For best results, select boots that match the cable outer diameter and use color-coding to mark cable types or network segments. Avoid excessive heat or sharp objects that could deform the boot; inspect periodically for signs of wear and replace boots showing cracks or loss of elasticity.
