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 includes a main body of thermoplastic rubber material which is ozone resistant. Contained within the body of the cable boot would be provided a metal based lining shielding bonded to the inner wall of the cable boot body with an adhesive material.
