Abstract
A strain relief boot and fiber optic connectors and modules having strain relief boots are provided. The strain relief boots of the present disclosure are flexible enough to bend when small side loads are applied to the boot and stiff enough to resist bending when large side loads are applied to the boot. In one embodiment, the strain relief boot is constructed of multiple different materials each having different stiffness properties.
