A connector including a housing having a distal end and a proximal end has a ferrule assembly having a ferrule and a ferrule spring. The ferrule spring biases the ferrule in a distal direction. A boot is mounted at the proximal end. The boot has a distal end mounting over the proximal end of the housing and a proximal end and defines a central axis. A central passage extends through a length of the boot. A strain relief portion is adjacent the proximal end of the boot and has a truncated, conical outer shape formed by co-axial rings separated by gaps, the rings being interconnected by links extending across the gaps. The central passage has a proximal portion corresponding to a length of the strain relief portion that defines a transverse cross-dimension A majority of the rings have radial thicknesses at least 50 percent as long as the transverse cross-dimension. |
