Abstract
A strain relief assembly for a fiber optic connector includes a support having a front end, a back end, and an internal cavity extending between the front end and the back end. The strain relief assembly also includes a boot extending over at least a portion of the support and rearwardly from the back end. The boot is less rigid than the support and includes an internal passageway communicating with the internal cavity of the support. Additionally, the boot is arranged about a central axis. The boot bulges radially outward from the central axis as the boot extends over the back end of the support.
