An adjustable strain relief boot includes a stationary portion and a moving portion slidably connected to the stationary portion. The adjustable strain relief boot is used to guide an optical fiber away from a connector of the optical fiber. In application, the stationary portion of the adjustable strain relief boot is press fitted onto to the connector. The adjustable strain relief boot provides for a predetermined, fixed angle of departure of the optical fiber away from the connector. The fixed angle of departure can be adjusted by the operator from a first position to a second position. The fixed angle of departure is adjustable between forty five and ninety degrees. In a locked position, the moving portion can not move relative to the stationary portion since actuator engagement teeth of an actuator arm of the stationary portion engage teeth of the moving portion. In an unlocked position, a force is applied to a release tab of the actuator arm of the stationary portion so as to disengage the actuator engagement teeth of the stationary from the teeth of the moving portion so as to allow the moving portion to move relative to the stationary portion. Due to the resiliency of the actuator arm of the stationary portion, when the force applied to the release tab is removed, the actuator arm tends to move towards its undeflected position thus engaging the actuator engagement teeth with the teeth of the moving portion.
