Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a ferrule boot that provides a pitch conversion from fiber ribbon having a first pitch (e.g., about 200 microns) to a multi-fiber ferrule having fiber openings arranged at a second pitch larger than the first pitch (e.g., about 250 microns). The ferrule boot may also function as a tool for inserting pitch converted optical fibers into the multi-fiber ferrule.
