A fiber optic connector includes a connector housing having a distal end and a proximal end. The connector also includes a ferrule assembly having a ferrule and a ferrule spring. The ferrule has a distal end face accessible at the distal end of the connector housing. The ferrule spring biases the ferrule in a distal direction relative to the connector housing. The connector further includes a boot mounted at the proximal end of the connector housing. The boot has a distal end that mounts over the proximal end of the connector housing and a proximal end. The boot defines a central axis extending along a length of the boot from the distal end to the proximal end of the boot. The boot defines a central passage extending through the length of the boot. A strain relief portion is adjacent the proximal end of the boot. The strain relief portion has a truncated, conical outer shape. The strain relief portion is formed by a plurality of co-axial rings separated by axial gaps. The rings are interconnected by axial links that extend across the axial gaps. The central passage has a proximal portion corresponding to a length of the strain relief portion. The proximal portion defines a transverse cross-dimension, and a majority of the rings of the strain relief portion of the boot have radial thicknesses that are at least 50 percent as long as the transverse cross-dimension.
