Multipolar Connector Housing ROLINE 21.17.3096 10 pcs

The ROLINE 21.17.3096 multipolar connector housing is a set of 10 kink protection hoods for RJ-45 modular connectors (short form). Designed for use in network and electronic installations, these housings help protect the connector latch and cable exit from strain and damage while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ-45 plugs.

Advantages

These connector housings come in a pack of 10, offering a simple way to replace damaged boots or add strain relief to multiple cables. The short-form design preserves connector compactness while providing protection for the latch and reducing cable bending at the exit point. The parts are compatible with standard RJ-45 modular plugs and are suited for industrial and electronic environments where reliable cable management is required.

Suitable for

• Network patch cables (RJ-45)
• Ethernet installations in offices and data centers

How to use

Slide the hood over the cable before crimping the RJ-45 plug, or fit it onto an existing connector by gently compressing the latch area to allow the hood to pass over the plug. Position the hood so it covers the cable exit and the plug latch, ensuring the cable is guided straight out of the connector to reduce bending. Verify that the hood does not obstruct the connector from fully mating with the socket.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these hoods with standard RJ-45 plugs and avoid forcing oversized plugs through the short-form housing. Inspect hoods after installation for proper seating and replace any that show cracks or deformation.
