Strain relief for RJ45 plug DeLOCK 86725

These strain relief boots by DeLOCK protect the cable end at the RJ45 plug from damage and abrasion while reducing tensile stress on the cable. Sold as a pack of 20, each boot is made of durable rubber and measures 15 mm (width) × 28 mm (depth) × 14 mm (height). The product is intended to preserve the integrity of network connections and provide a more secure plug fit.

Advantages

The DeLOCK 86725 strain reliefs are made of resilient rubber to absorb bending and friction, they reduce the risk of cable breakage at the connector, and their compact dimensions make them suitable for standard RJ45 plugs without adding significant bulk. The boots are supplied in red which helps with cable identification.

Suitable for

• Protecting Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors
• Network installations where strain relief is required
• Cable management and colour-coded wiring

How to use

Slide a DeLOCK strain relief boot over the cable before attaching the RJ45 plug (or, if the plug is already fitted, use a compatible method for installing boots designed to fit over assembled connectors). Position the boot so it fully covers the rear of the plug and the cable exit, then crimp or secure the plug per the connector manufacturer’s instructions. Verify that the boot sits snugly and does not obstruct the plug latch.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use these strain reliefs on standard Ethernet cables and avoid stretching the boot during installation. Use colour-coding to identify cable runs and check periodically that boots remain in place and undamaged.
