Professional Finish: CAT 7 RJ45 Modular Plug PVC Cap (Blue) �
Complete your high-speed networking projects with the Network Pro Series. These specialized CAT 7 PVC Caps (also known as "Strain Relief Boots") are designed to protect your RJ45 connectors and maintain the integrity of your high-performance cables. Finished in a professional Blue, they are the definitive solution for organizing and protecting your CAT 7 and CAT 6A shielded connections.
Why the CAT 7 PVC Cap is a Networking Essential:
-
Superior Strain Relief: Prevents the cable from bending at sharp angles near the connector, which can damage the delicate internal twists required for 10Gbps speeds.
-
Snag-Proof Protection: Features a specialized hood that covers the RJ45 locking tab, preventing it from snagging or breaking when pulling cables through crowded server racks or conduits.
-
Dust & Debris Shield: Helps keep dust out of the modular plug, ensuring a clean contact point and long-term signal reliability. �
-
Professional Identification: The vibrant Blue color allows for easy "color-coding" of different network segments (e.g., Blue for data, Red for VoIP).
Where to Use It:
-
� Server Rooms: Protect patch leads in high-density environments where cables are frequently moved or adjusted.
-
Structured Cabling: Provide a professional, finished look to custom-length cables installed in office walls or ceilings.
-
Home Labs: Organize your home network by color-coding connections to different devices or rooms.
-
Gaming Setups: Ensure your custom-built shielded ethernet cables are durable enough for LAN parties or frequent travel.
Key Features:
-
Extended Diameter Opening: Specifically sized to fit the thicker outer diameter (OD) of shielded CAT 7 and CAT 6A cables (S/FTP).
-
High-Quality PVC Material: Made from soft, flexible, yet durable PVC that won't crack over time or harden in cooler environments.
-
Tapered Design: Provides a smooth transition from the cable jacket to the connector, making it easier to pull through cable management rings.
-
� Perfect Fit: Engineered to sit flush against standard shielded RJ45 modular plugs for a seamless, factory-made appearance.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
1. � Do I need to put this on before I crimp the plug? Yes! This is a slide-on boot. You must slide the cap onto the cable before you strip the wires and crimp the RJ45 modular plug onto the end.
2. Will this fit a standard CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable? Because CAT 7 cables are much thicker, the tail of this cap may be slightly loose on thinner CAT 5e cables. It is specifically designed for the larger diameter of CAT 7 and CAT 6A.
3. Is the "Blue" color a standard? While color-coding varies by company, Blue is most commonly used for standard Data or Workstation connections in a structured cabling environment.
