Abstract
A pre-expanded breakout boot assembly includes a breakout boot assembly including an elastomeric breakout boot and plurality of finger sealant layers of a flowable conformable medium. The breakout boot includes a tubular main section and a plurality of tubular fingers extending from an end of the main section. Each of the finger sealant layers is pre-mounted on an interior surface of a respective one of the fingers. Each of the finger holdouts is removably mounted in the finger passage of a respective one of the fingers. When the pre-expanded breakout boot assembly is positioned on the cable joint with a cable extending through each finger passage, the finger holdouts are removed from the breakout boot assembly, and each finger elastically radially contracts about a respective one of the cables, each finger sealant layer is radially interposed between each of the interior surface of the finger and the cable in the finger.
