Bend Relief Boot for RJ45 Plug Digitus A-MOT/E 8/8

The DIGITUS kink protection boot for RJ45 plugs (A-MOT/E 8/8) is designed to be fitted quickly and easily onto both shielded and unshielded 8P8C RJ45 modular plugs. Made from durable grey material, the boot protects the cable at the connector end by reducing strain and preventing sharp bends that can damage the conductor or compromise the connection. It includes an integrated latch protection to help preserve the plug latch during handling and installation.

Advantages

The boot provides mechanical protection at the cable-plug transition, reducing the risk of cable kinks and strain-related failures. Its construction suits both shielded and unshielded RJ45 plugs, and the integrated latch protection helps prevent accidental latch breakage. The product is available in multiple colors, allowing visual identification of cables when needed.

Suitable for

• Installation on 8P8C (RJ45) modular plugs, shielded and unshielded
• Preventing cable damage and strain at connector ends
• Network patch cables and field-assembled RJ45 terminations

How to use

Slide the kink protection boot over the cable before attaching the RJ45 plug. After terminating the connector onto the cable conductor, push the boot forward until it fully covers the plug body and the cable-plug transition. Ensure the integrated latch protector aligns over the plug latch so the latch can still engage with the jack while being shielded during handling.

Recommendations

Use the boot on both pre-made and field-assembled RJ45 cables to extend connector life; select a visible color version when color-coding or quick identification is required.
