Funda protectora para cable ACT RJ45 TT4511 roja para cable de 5,5 mm

The ACT RJ45 red cable boot is designed to fit 5.5 mm network cables and to be used with RJ-45 connectors. Supplied in a pack of 25 pieces, each boot provides a protective cover and strain relief for patch cords, reducing wear on the connector latch and cable entry point. The product is CE and RoHS certified, meeting applicable safety and environmental standards for passive cabling accessories.

Advantages

The soft yet durable material resists cracking and deformation while maintaining flexibility for easy installation. The boot protects the fragile latch tab from accidental snags and improves the mechanical connection by reducing the bending radius at the cable exit. Its red colour allows quick visual identification of specific cable runs or network segments. Supplied in a multi-piece pack, the boots are suitable for repeated installations and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Patch cables and Ethernet leads with an outer diameter around 5.5 mm
• Network cabling installations in offices, data centers, and home networks
• Labeling or colour-coding of network segments for easier troubleshooting
• Repairs and upgrades where connector strain relief is required

Key specifications

• Compatible cable outer diameter: approximately 5.5 mm
• Connector type: RJ-45 compatible boot design
• Material: flexible polymer providing mechanical protection and strain relief
• Colour: red for visual identification and colour-coding
• Pack quantity: 25 pieces per pack
• Certifications: CE and RoHS compliant

How to use

Slide the boot onto the cable before terminating the RJ-45 connector. After crimping the connector onto the cable, push the boot forward until it fully covers the connector body and the cable entry, ensuring the latch tab is protected and the boot seats against the connector shoulder. Check that the boot does not obstruct insertion into jacks and that the cable retains sufficient flexibility for intended routing.

Recommendations

For best results, verify the cable outer diameter matches the boot size and avoid forcing boots onto significantly larger or smaller cables. Use colour-coded boots like this red variant to simplify port mapping and maintenance. Replace any boot showing visible damage or loss of flexibility to maintain reliable strain relief and connector protection.
