Description

Black Box FMT717 Snagless Cable Boot - Blue

Overview

The Black Box FMT717 snagless cable boot provides essential protection for RJ45 connectors, preventing the locking tab from snagging on obstructions during cable pulls. This blue boot is designed for clean installations in structured cabling environments, ensuring the integrity of your network connections. It's particularly useful in high-density patch panel deployments or when routing cables through tight conduits where connector damage is a risk. The FMT717 model is specified in blue for easy color-coding of network segments.

Compatibility

This snagless boot is designed to fit standard RJ45 modular connectors commonly found on Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a Ethernet patch cables. It is compatible with virtually all manufacturers' RJ45 plugs, providing a universal solution for protecting cable terminations. It does not interfere with standard network switch ports or patch panel ports.

Installation Notes

To install, simply slide the boot onto the Ethernet cable before crimping the RJ45 connector. Once the connector is terminated, slide the boot forward until it covers the connector housing and locking tab. Ensure the boot is fully seated to provide maximum protection. The boot's flexible material allows for easy installation without damaging the cable jacket.
