ABSTRACT:
A multipurpose boot for use with a jacketed round-to-flat multiconductor electrical cable comprises in one embodiment a sheet of adhesive coated flexible plastic material appropriately cut and scored to define a center panel, a pair of fold-over flaps and a tab. In use, the boot is placed about the cable and secured to the jacket with the end of the conductors lying on the tab. When the end of the cable is inserted into the connector for mass termination the tab is inserted along with it. When the connector is crimped closed the boot effectively connects the connector to the cable jacket so as to physically protect the cable in the area where it is neither flat nor round and to provide strain relief. In an alternate embodiment, the multipurpose boot is attached to the connector, but is not secured to the jacket. Instead, the boot is shaped to include guides for directing the conductors of the cable in a preselected orientation with respect to the connector.
