What this product is

Vszerda RJ45 strain relief boots come in a 100-pack of blue soft PVC covers. They protect the cable end from rupturing and shield the plug from dust and oxygen. The boots fit patch cables with an outer diameter of 5.5 to 7.5 mm, covering 21 to 24 AWG sizes. They work with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 and Cat8 cables using standard 8P8C modular plugs.

What to check before ordering

Measure the outer diameter of your patch cable to confirm it falls between 5.5 and 7.5 mm. Verify the cable uses an RJ45 8P8C modular plug so the boot seats correctly. Check the wire gauge marking on the cable jacket to ensure it is within the 21 to 24 AWG range. The boots are sized by marks on the cover, so select the appropriate length for your connector.

What this replaces and when to upgrade

These boots replace worn, cracked or missing strain relief covers on existing patch leads. They also upgrade cables that were terminated without any boot, adding pull-force protection and easier latch release. The improvement is worth it when cables are frequently unplugged, routed through tight spaces, or show stress fractures near the plug. They are not suited for cables outside the 5.5 to 7.5 mm diameter range or non-RJ45 connector types.

Questions about this item

Does the 100-pack include any RJ45 plugs or crimping tools, or only the blue strain-relief boots?

The package contains 100 blue PVC strain-relief boots only; RJ45 8P8C plugs and crimping tools must be purchased separately.

Which boot size marking should I use for a Cat6 cable with a 7.5 mm outer diameter?

Choose the size mark that covers the 5.5–7.5 mm range; the boots fit 21–24 AWG conductors and Cat5 through Cat8 cables.

Will these boots make it easier to release a Cat6a plug from a tight switch port?

Yes, the flexible PVC design reduces latch tension so the connector unlocks more smoothly from jacks or ports.
