Too big for a solid ethernet cable 23 AWG

I ran a 40 and 110 foot cable from my Fios router to the upstairs living room and bedroom along with about a dozen short patch cords. I used TRENDnet TC-CT68 (crimping tool), Cable Matters 180064-SOLID (RJ45 Modular Jacks), and Monoprice 114768 (23awg Cat6 Ethernet Bulk Cable). These strain reliefs were too big and not really needed, so I didn't use them. They also make it difficult to connect an Ethernet cable to the connector.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged

Most were good at Computer Accessories and Peripherals

Some of the ones I received were defective; from slightly to severely deformed and as if glued together. However, most of them were in good condition and sending them back would have delayed the work I was working on.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Speed

Fits my unshielded CAT6A riser.

In my networking project I actually used two different RJ45 stretch shoes, this one and another brand and color. These worked fine. No problem sliding the cable up and down; no problem sliding over RJ45s. I will say the other brand was thicker and had a bar which I prefer a bit.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Neutral

Not very useful for computers and accessories

If your cable category doesn't match this boot, don't worry. Not all 6 or 6A cables are the same gauge. So use the specified hole size as a guide. The jacket material is so inflexible that it does not work without problems with larger cables. If your cable is smaller, it won't stay where it should. The worst: the material is not flexible, so unlocking the RJ45 is much more difficult, especially in a hard-to-reach place.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Appearance

Installs and works fine, but.

They installed and worked fine. The only problem I had was not with the direct download, but with the NVR and the security cameras they connected to. The NVR ports were too close together to fit 2 cases side by side. In addition, the camera ports had a separate "weatherproof" style cover that was too small to fit in a case. [UPDATE: 2019-10-15] Downgraded one star. after I've thought it all through. If the case material were a bit thinner on the sides, the fitment issue would be less, since…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing

Wrong size for Cat6UTP riser

I have a solid Cat 6 UTP 23AWG riser cable and these booties just fall off the cable. The boots usually fit snugly around the cable. They are probably better suited for outdoor/straight birial or plemum cable.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Protection

Definitely what you need for a large gauge cable

I needed a strain relief that would work with a large 6A shielded (braided and FTP) cable and they did not disappoint. I forgot to take a picture but they looked perfect.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • alt
