Abstract
A flexible boot adapted to receive a telphone cable plug includes an opening through which a telephone retaining lever projects. The boot receives the telephone cable through an opening provided therein and slips over the telephone plug. Upon insertion of the plug into a mating telephone jack, the boot frictionally engages the jack circumference and seals the connections from the environment. A similar boot may be utilized to protect and seal a telephone jack.
