Platinum Tools 100035C EZ-RJ45 Cat5e Strain Relief 50pk

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 100035C is a pack of 50 strain relief boots designed for use with EZ-RJ45 Cat5e connectors. Strain reliefs protect the cable-to-connector termination point from repeated bending stress, extending the service life of the connection. They slide over the cable jacket before crimping and lock into the rear of the RJ45 plug body after termination. Low-voltage installers, structured cabling technicians, and data communications contractors use these components as a standard part of professional Cat5e patch cable and field-termination assemblies.

These strain reliefs are intended for Cat5e network cabling applications in both residential and commercial structured wiring installations. They are specifically sized and profiled to mate with PLATINUM TOOLS EZ-RJ45 Cat5e connectors. Typical use cases include fabricating custom-length patch cables, terminating horizontal runs at the workstation outlet, and any application where a finished, professional appearance and mechanical protection at the plug termination are required.

Key Features

• Sized for EZ-RJ45 Cat5e connector bodies for a secure, consistent fit
• Protects the cable termination from bend stress and mechanical fatigue
• Installs before crimping — slides onto cable jacket prior to plug termination
• 50 pieces per pack for production cable assembly work
• Supports a clean, finished appearance on completed cable assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with PLATINUM TOOLS EZ-RJ45 Cat5e connectors. Verify connector body profile before ordering to confirm fitment with specific connector generations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors without the need for power shutdown, as this component is used in non-energized cable assembly work. Thread the strain relief onto the cable jacket before seating the conductor into the RJ45 plug, then crimp the plug and slide the strain relief forward to lock onto the plug body. Follow TIA-568 standards for Cat5e termination practices. Do not force the boot over an incompatible plug body, as this may crack the relief and compromise mechanical protection.
