MicroConnect CONB65B strain relief boot for Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A cables up to 6.5 mm, black

Strain relief boots Blue for network cables, compatible with Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A plugs with outer diameter up to 6.5 mm. Supplied in a pack of 100 pieces, these boots protect RJ‑45 connector boots from bending and wear and help maintain cable integrity at the connector exit.

Advantages

The strain relief boots are made to fit shielded and unshielded Ethernet plugs with outer diameters up to 6.5 mm and reduce mechanical stress on the connector. Their standardized shape ensures consistent fit, simplifies cable handling during installation, and extends the life of network patch cables.

Suitable for

• Replacing damaged boots on Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A patch cables
• Assembly of network patch cables in home or office environments
• Cable management and protection in patch panels and racks

Key specifications

• Color: Blue
• Compatible cable types: Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6A
• Maximum cable outer diameter: up to 6.5 mm
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack

How to use

Slide the boot onto the cable before crimping the RJ‑45 plug, position the plug into place and crimp the connector. After crimping, push the boot forward so it covers the connector boot area and the cable jacket, ensuring the relief sits over the cable exit to reduce bending stress.

Recommendations

For best results use the boots with cables and plugs that match the specified maximum outer diameter. Do not force boots over oversized connectors; check fit before final installation to avoid damage to the boot or connector.
