Fiber optic cable connector with strain relief boot

摘要

A strain relief system for the backside of a fiber optic connector has a controlled bend radius defined by the formula R=[(W+t)2/2(1-cos phi )]1/2, where W is the rib thickness, t is the width of spaces between the ribs, and phi is an angle defined by comers of the ribs which engage each other at the minimum bending radius and a pivot point about which the ribs pivot relative to each other.
