Questions & Answers

What is the maximum diameter of these boots for 23awg cat6 stp?

There is no problem fitting 23AWG cable into the boot.

Where do I find instructions on how to install these? Can it just be slipped on, or does it have to be crimped?

Boots such as these get slipped onto the cable before the crimping is done. After getting pinched, the cable will slide back up and cover part of the end plug to prevent it from getting pinched again when it is hanging from a wall socket. Let me know if you have any questions.

Which ones do I get with my ?

The number of pieces is 50

Cat6a shielded cable is compatible with these? In the last few weeks, I have not been able to find any that would fit a ?

There is no way they will fit cat6. Normally, a portion of the boot would grab around the cable so I had to cut it off. It was impossible to fit the cat6 cable through originally due to its diameter.

THERE IS A 23AWG CABLE FOR CAT6 INSTALLED! The company's nbsp There are a lot of reviews that mention that these stress relief boots are highly tight on Cat6 network cable (and sometimes impossible without a heatgun)
5/5

I can tell you that it fits just fine. Besides that, it's perfect. For those times when you want to feel fancy and have things done right, use a rubber boot on your networking cables.

Fits on 23 AWG Cat6a but not 23 AWG Cat6B
3/5

Though I was able to get it to fit with the heat gun, I still would not recommend them for anything larger than 24 Cat It's fine and they're cheap, but only because the seller (Monoprice) responded to a question asking if they'd fit, when they don't, but just because they're okay and cheap doesn't make it right. There is no way I can give it more than three stars, because it represents.

My older 23 AWG Cat 6 from Monoprice fits here, too
5/5

Newer 23 AWG Cat 6 from Monoprice should be the same diameter as the older stuff (5". The year 1998 The letter does not exceed 0. 1 You might want it to be a bit snug, but you don't have to. This way, there will be no slipping off. It is 5 in. in diameter, according to my measurement of its ID. This was a 77 mm round object. It was not perfectly round, so a little more was on one side, closer to 5 mm. The full round number was 95, when it was fully rounded it was approximately It was 96-97 It fits just snug on my 6 mm cable, which is just over a mm in diameter. As the fabric is relatively soft, it's hard to get an exact measurement without including

This is an example of these RJ45 ends (and they fit pretty The cable goes in just a bit too deep, but it should fit in the holes.

I hope this helps you figure out if it fits.

It was hard to know what to call these at first, and I did not know where to look My first cables were a few homemade cables, and I had no idea what these things were called or that they could be purchased
5/5

Normally, I would have assumed professionally made cables just had the connectors My first mistake was not learning about strain relief boots, at which point I merely needed to go online to research The absence of these is probably not a big deal for cables that will not move very much after being installed. I think they are helpful for products like home entertainment gear, which happen to require some moving around or reconfiguration from time to time. As a result, you might have twisted or weak connectors ends, possibly even a break. The same is true for laptop stations where the cables might get disconnected and reconnected If you don't connect several times a day, I think you're going to dramatically increase the risk of a connector breaking or failing. Here is the cable I got to use with these (CCA) Solid Bulk Ethernet Cable, 550MHz, 23AWG 4 Pair, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)" and they fit great. The fit beautifully and make my home made cables look.

While the color wasn't quite right, the fit was perfect
4/5

This is amazing! I chose the green color because I heard a clicking noise when the boot was seated properly. The colour is washed out like a turquoise, it's a bit of a let down may be due to the batch that was delivered. As far as I remember, I also paid an extra fee for green. I really like the way these fit like a glove, they actually make a clicking sound when placed and don't move or have any play when in place. It was very nice but the color was not what I had ordered or I was more drawn to the color turquoise than to the color green. In the picture, the color green is clearly visible. I rated it four stars because it represents the color clearly. If you see them in person, the distance between them is too great.

This is a good set of The covers work very well for the ends of my own cat6 cables, which I recently began constructing
5/5

They were hard to get onto the cables at first, but with a heat gun I encouraged them to warm up just enough to slide on, and once they were on, they slipped on Even after heating, they were still too tight around the ends.

The connectors are matte dark blue and super tight on CAT6 cables - It might be difficult to get these to work on CAT6 and there is absolutely no chance it will fit CAT6A due to the width The color of blue is inconsistent from bag to bag
3/5

I received the darker bag, but other buyers have received lighter or darker blue bags.

I got up with the Monoprice Cat6 (purple) and it looks awesome
5/5

I installed the system at the office where there were a few ladies. With this product and the Monoprice Cat6 (purple), the look is fantastic. I installed it in an office, and it has been a big hit with the women. If you mix and match the cable color and boot color of your system, it will seem more expensive than it This is something anyone can benefit from. I like that it's soft and it grips well to the cables. If you use a thin cable, make sure it's as thick as possible. I don't think it would look good on really thin fabric. Wouldn't it be great if I could just find some.
