Fiber optic cable guide boot

A fiber optic cable assembly, comprising:

• a connector;
• a fiber optic cable terminating at said connector;
• and
• a one-piece guide boot assembly for controlling said cable upon exiting from said connector, said boot assembly comprising:
• a termination plug adjacent said connector;
• a first end opposite said termination plug for receiving said cable;
• a termination portion adjacent said termination plug and from which said cable extends;
• and
• a body disposed between said first end and said termination portion and defining an inner passageway for said cable, the body comprising a window for passing the fiber optic cable into and out of the body.

A method of inserting a fiber optic cable into a connector comprising a guide boot having a first end and a termination port with a termination plug, comprising:

• inserting the fiber optic cable into the first end of the guide boot, through an inner passageway of the guide boot, and out a window in the guide boot;
• rotating the fiber optic cable;
• and
• inserting the fiber optic cable into the window and through the termination port.

A method of inserting a fiber optic cable into a connector comprising a guide boot having a first end and a termination port with a termination plug, comprising:

• inserting the fiber optic cable into the first end of the guide boot, through an inner passageway of the guide boot to a window in the guide boot;
• rotating the fiber optic cable in the inner passageway via the window;
• and
• inserting the fiber optic cable through the termination port.

A one-piece guide boot assembly for use with a fiber optic cable, said boot assembly comprising:

• a first section comprising:
• a first end for receiving the fiber optic cable,
• a body that defines an inner passageway for the fiber optic cable, and
• a window disposed in the body;
• and
• a termination plug opposite the first end comprising a termination port from which the fiber optic cable extends, wherein the window comprises a window for passing the fiber optic cable out of the body, reinserting the fiber optic cable through the window, and inserting the fiber optic cable through the termination port.

A one-piece guide boot assembly for use with a fiber optic cable, said boot assembly comprising:

• a first section comprising:
• a first end for receiving the fiber optic cable and restraining a first portion of the fiber optic cable from twisting and rotating;
• a body that defines an inner passageway for the fiber optic cable, and
• a window disposed in the body and providing access to a second portion of the fiber optic cable so that the second portion can be twisted and rotated in relation to the first portion;
• and
• a termination plug opposite the first end comprising a termination port from which the fiber optic cable extends.
