Here’s a full spec + detailed overview (A+‑style) for the Tether Tools Replacement JerkStopper U‑Caps (3‑Pack), model JS001TP:
Tether Tools Replacement JerkStopper U‑Caps (3‑Pack) – JS001TP
What It Is
A set of three replacement U‑Caps for the “JerkStopper” family of cable strain relief / anchoring accessories from Tether Tools. The U‑Cap is a small part that fits at the cable connector side of a JerkStopper setup. If the original cap gets worn, damaged, or lost, this pack lets you restore protection to the cable‑connector interface without replacing the entire JerkStopper unit.

What It Protects & Why It Matters
The U‑Cap is the part that surrounds the connector end of the cable where it meets the JerkStopper shell / fixture. This area is one of the most stressed zones (bend, movement, pulling). Without a proper U‑Cap, the cable can flex too sharply, which may lead to connector damage, cable wear, or even data/ power loss.
Using a fresh / correct U‑Cap ensures the strain relief works as intended: distributes the load, reduces sharp bends, helps maintain full connection integrity.
Use‑Cases & Situations for Replacement
If the original U‑Cap cracks, splits, or loses grip/clamping strength due to wear or impact.
When upgrading cables or plugging in new cables of different diameter (within the supported range), and the old U‑Cap no longer fits well.
As backup spares in production kits — useful when you want minimal downtime and always want your gear fully functional.
For preserving warranty or optimal performance of JerkStopper units — replacing worn caps helps maintain protection.
Limitations & What to Be Mindful Of
The U‑Cap is only one part of the JerkStopper system; it does not protect the connector if no strain relief or anchoring is used “after” the cap. For full protection, the whole JerkStopper fixture + support is needed.
Cable outside the 3.5‑8.5 mm diameter range will either be loose (too thin) or won’t fit (too thick), which may compromise protection or physical fit.
Repeated bending, sharp angles, or improper installation (e.g. letting the cable pull directly without slack) can reduce the life of the U‑Cap.
The material is a small plastic/rubber component — while solid, it can be damaged in drops or heavy impact, so handling matters.
