Optical Cable Corp. FXC-BOOT-3MM Fiber Connector Boot 3mm

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. FXC-BOOT-3MM is a 3mm fiber optic connector boot designed to provide strain relief and cable protection at the connector entry point. Finished in black, this boot fits over 3mm diameter fiber optic cable jackets and helps prevent sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Sold in a 6-pack, it is a standard accessory used during fiber connector termination and assembly. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary end users for this component.

This boot is suited for use with fiber optic modular connectors and inserts in both residential and commercial low-voltage cabling installations. It is applied during field termination or factory assembly wherever 3mm fiber cable transitions into an FXC-series connector body. The 6-pack quantity supports batch termination work on multi-port panels and wall plates.

Key Features

• 3mm cable diameter compatibility for standard fiber optic jacket sizes
• Black finish for consistent, professional appearance in finished installations
• Provides strain relief to protect the fiber at the connector interface
• Designed for use with FXC-series fiber modular connectors and inserts
• 6-pack quantity reduces per-unit cost on multi-port termination jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with FXC-series fiber optic modular connectors and inserts accepting 3mm fiber cable jackets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers during fiber connector termination. Slide the boot onto the fiber cable before completing the connector termination, as it cannot be added after the connector body is crimped or assembled. Follow TIA-568 or applicable local low-voltage cabling standards for bend radius and strain relief requirements. No special tools are required to install the boot itself.
