Abstract
A boot with a flexible actuator can be used to provide improved protection and ease of use for an electrical connector plug. The plug, such as an RJ45 plug connected to a data or communications cable, can have an extended latch member adapted to releasably engage a connection mechanism of a receptacle into which the plug is placed. A recess in a receiving portion of an actuator can capture the extended end of the latch member, whereby damage to the latch member due to snagging or catching on nearby objects is prevented.
