Strain Relief Boots
RJ45 Strain Relief Boots are essential for assembling a new patch cable. It must be applied to the cable before terminating both connector ends. These boots safeguard the modular plug body, particularly the latch tab, from potential damage during handling. Additionally, the strain relief characteristics of the boots help preserve the cable's bend radius and prevent conductor displacement within the connector, which could result in continuity issues over time.
