West Penn Wire CN-B0051 Cat6 Cat6a Shielded Boot 8mm

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE CN-B0051 is a shielded cable boot designed for use with Cat6 and Cat6a network cabling installations. This boot measures 8mm in diameter and is supplied in a pack of 100 units. It fits over the cable jacket ahead of termination, protecting the RJ45 connector interface and providing strain relief at the plug entry point. The black color finish offers a clean, professional appearance in structured cabling applications. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling installers typically deploy these boots during patch cord fabrication or structured wiring terminations.

The CN-B0051 is suited for use in commercial and residential structured cabling projects where Cat6 or Cat6a shielded cabling is run to workstation outlets, patch panels, or equipment racks. The 8mm sizing accommodates the larger outer diameters common to shielded cable constructions. These boots are applied in bulk quantities during high-volume patch cord manufacturing or large-scale network infrastructure buildouts where consistent, uniform connector protection is required across many terminations.

Key Features

• Designed for Cat6 and Cat6a shielded cable terminations
• 8mm boot diameter accommodates shielded cable outer jackets
• Black finish for clean, professional structured cabling appearance
• Supplied in a 100-unit pack for bulk installation work
• Provides strain relief and connector protection at the plug entry

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cat6 and Cat6a shielded cable installations requiring 8mm boot sizing at RJ45 connector terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install these boots by sliding them onto the cable before terminating the RJ45 connector, then seating the boot over the connector body after crimping is complete. No special tools beyond standard RJ45 crimping equipment are required. Installations in commercial buildings should follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local low-voltage wiring codes. Ensure the correct boot diameter is confirmed against the cable outer jacket measurement before bulk installation.
