Platinum Tools 105062 RJ45 Boot 5.5mm Max Cable

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 105062 is a black RJ45 strain-relief boot designed to protect RJ45 modular connectors and the cable jacket at the point of termination. This boot fits cables up to 5.5mm in outer diameter, providing a snug, professional finish on completed RJ45 terminations. It slides onto the cable before the connector is crimped and snaps over the plug body to reduce stress on the termination point. Network installers, low-voltage technicians, and data cabling professionals use this boot to extend connector service life and maintain a clean, organized appearance on patch cables and field-terminated runs.

This boot is suited for residential and commercial structured cabling installations, patch panel work, equipment rack terminations, and any application where RJ45 connectors are field-crimped onto copper data cable. It is compatible with cables up to 5.5mm outer diameter, covering a broad range of standard Cat5e, Cat6, and similar twisted-pair cables commonly terminated in the field. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• Fits cables up to 5.5mm outer diameter for compatibility with common twisted-pair data cable
• Black color for standard identification or color-coded cable management
• Snap-fit design seats over the RJ45 plug body after crimping
• Provides strain relief to reduce stress and flex fatigue at the connector termination point
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering per job

Compatibility

Designed as a standard strain-relief boot for use with RJ45 modular connectors on copper data cables up to 5.5mm outer diameter.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install this boot as part of a standard RJ45 field termination. The boot must be slid onto the cable before the RJ45 connector is crimped - it cannot be installed after the fact. No special tools are required beyond a standard RJ45 crimping tool for the connector itself. Installation should follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards for data terminations.
