Kaapelin vedonpoistaja ShiverPeaks 72057-R

The ShiverPeaks 72057-R cable boot is an accessory for RJ-45 connectors that provides strain relief and physical protection for Ethernet cables. Made from flexible, durable material in a clear red finish, this boot slips over the connector to reduce bending stress at the plug-cable junction, protect the latch tab from accidental damage, and make cable identification easier in patching environments.

Advantages

This cable boot offers mechanical protection against excessive bending and abrasion at the connector point and helps prevent broken latch tabs. The red color improves visual identification in cable bundles and patch panels, reducing troubleshooting time. Its flexible construction allows it to accommodate standard RJ-45 plugs without affecting signal performance or connector fit.

Suitable for

• Network patch cables and Ethernet installations
• Server racks and data center cable management
• Office workstations and structured cabling
• Environments where quick visual identification of cables is needed

Key specifications

• Compatibility: RJ-45 connectors (standard 8P8C modular plugs)
• Material: flexible, impact-resistant polymer
• Color: red for visual identification
• Function: strain relief and latch protection
• Design: slip-on boot that does not obstruct connector insertion

How to use

Slide the boot over the cable before crimping, or apply it to an assembled cable by compressing the boot’s opening and positioning it over the connector so the latch tab is covered. Ensure the boot sits flush against the connector housing and does not interfere with plug insertion into jacks or patch panels. For best results, use boots sized for standard RJ-45 plugs and check that the cable jacket fits snugly inside the boot.

Recommendations

Use the red cable boot to mark critical or high-priority links, and combine with other colored boots to create a color-coded cabling scheme. Replace boots that show signs of cracking or excessive wear to maintain strain relief and latch protection.
