Abstract
An optical connector boot, that protects an optical fiber extending from an end portion of an optical connector, includes: a boot body including a center hole configured to accommodate the optical fiber; and a straight portion that extends from a rear end of the boot body and communicates with the center hole. The boot body has a slit that opens to an outer peripheral surface of the boot body and extends toward the center hole. In a case where a length of the straight portion is denoted by L, a section modulus of the straight portion is denoted by Z, and a longitudinal elastic modulus of the straight portion is denoted by E, the equation L[mm]/(Z[mm3]×E[MPa])≥1.25 [/mm2 MPa] is satisfied.
