DeLOCK 86722 bend protection sleeve

The DeLOCK 86722 strain relief is a rubber boot designed to protect the cable end at an RJ45 plug from damage, abrasion and heavy tensile strain. Made of durable black rubber and supplied in a polybag, the product helps extend cable life and maintains connector reliability.

Advantages

The compact rubber construction reduces wear at the plug end and absorbs bending and pulling forces. Its small dimensions make it compatible with standard RJ45 plugs while the black finish provides a neutral appearance. Supplied in packs of 20, it is convenient for multiple installations or replacements.

Suitable for

• Protecting Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs
• Preventing cable abrasion and connector strain
• Batch installations and maintenance where multiple boots are required
