ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment of a guide boot for a fiber-optic cable mechanically coupled to a connector comprises a mating portion having an interior surface defining a passage for receiving a portion of the connector and the fiber-optic cable, and a plurality of ribs formed on the interior surface and extending along at least a portion of a length of the mating portion. A preferred embodiment of a guide boot also comprises a body portion adjoining the mating portion and having an interior surface that defines a passage for receiving the fiber-optic cable. The interior surface of the body portion is curved so that the body portion bends the fiber-optic cable.
