Strain Relief Brackets

Strain relief brackets, boots or sleeves are small devices that are designed to provide strain relief for cables and wires.

Why is strain relief important?

Using a strain relief bracket and providing strain relief for your cables is an essential process for the mechanical and electrical integrity and overall performance of all types of electrical cables. Stress relief brackets relieve the stress and tension from the cable connections themselves to prevent them from breaking.

Features, benefits and types of strain relief brackets

Choose from different strain relief brackets to fit different cables. For example, there are strain relief brackets which are specifically designed to fit flat and ribbon cables, and designs that are made in a boot design for fitting over RF (radio frequency) coaxial cables. In other connectors, the strain relief can be in the form of metallic connectors and grips, some of them made of metal that are crimped over the cable to provide tensile strength.
