Color-Matched Boots (rj45 boots)

[Q] What are "color-matched boots" (rj45 boots)? [A] A "color-matched boot" is a plastic, slip-on, color-matched boot that fits over the plug. This boot helps keeps contaminants out of the plug, prevents the lock tap from snagging on other cables when being pulled through multiple cables, and also improves the look of the cable. Cat 5 Cable Company provides color-matched boots standard on all cables, but you have the option to not have them on your cables if you do not need them. There are many situations where a boot is simply not needed, most often in applications using very short lengths of cable that are rarely moved. Keywords: boots, rj45 boots, plug boots, cable boots
