Abstract: A one-piece flexible cable boot for external installation around a cable connector of the type being coaxial in nature. The cable would include a flexible, closely fit external sleeve having a compressive end for supporting a cable against flexing (strain relief) and having on its second end an inwardly extending seal, deformable so that it can be pushed, screwed or twisted onto, the threads or housing of the device to form a water tight seal. The connector would also include EPDM material which is known in the art which is ozone and chemical resistant. The assembly is specifically designed for enclosing trunk and feeder cable connectors that are mounted in taps, amplifiers, nodes, line extenders, and directional couplers for aerial and underground applications. It will also be used for splicing cables that have been cut or extended.

Abstract: A flexible cable boot for external installation around a cable connector of the type being coaxial, triaxial, copper twisted pair, or fiber optic in nature. The cable boot would include a flexible, closely fit external sleeve having a compressive end for supporting a cable against excessive flexing and having on its second end an inwardly extending disc, deformable so that it can be screwed onto the external threads of a connector to form a seal, and including an internal shield to prevent EMI leakage radiation. The product would further include a main body of EDPM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer) material which is ozone resistant. Contained within the body of the cable boot would be provided a foil/film/foil shielding tape of aluminum polypropylene aluminum bonded to the inner wall of the cable boot body with an adhesive material.
