Leviton Telcom 6018-L Fiber Optic Boot Connector

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 6018-L is a boot connector designed for use with 15-amp fiber optic connections. Boot connectors serve as protective strain-relief sleeves that slide over fiber optic cable terminations, shielding the cable-to-connector junction from bending stress, moisture ingress, and physical damage. This component is sold individually and is intended for installation by structured cabling technicians, low-voltage electricians, and telecom professionals working on fiber optic distribution systems. It is a small but critical component for maintaining long-term connector integrity in both horizontal and backbone cabling runs.

This boot connector is suited for fiber optic hardware and connectivity applications in commercial and residential structured cabling environments. It is used during the field-termination or pre-terminated assembly process when installing or replacing fiber optic connectors rated for 15-amp service. Typical install scenarios include telecom closets, equipment rooms, and data distribution points where fiber optic patch panels or outlet assemblies are being terminated or refurbished.

Key Features

• Designed for 15-amp fiber optic connector compatibility
• Functions as a strain-relief boot to protect the cable-to-connector junction
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement boot connector for use with LEVITON TELCOM 15-amp fiber optic connector assemblies within the fiber optic hardware and connectivity category.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals familiar with fiber optic termination procedures. The boot should be threaded onto the fiber cable before the connector body is crimped or assembled, as it cannot be added after termination is complete. Follow TIA-568 standards for fiber optic cable handling and bend-radius requirements. Avoid exposing the fiber strand during installation and use appropriate fiber optic tools and safety eyewear.
