A connector boot for attachment to a flanged BTW-LC connector has extending at an angle therefrom a trigger member. The trigger on the boot acts as an anti-snag device and makes removal of the connector easier. The boot has a bore extending therethrough having an undercut portion for gripping the connector flange, and at least one key in the bore for mating with slots in the flange of the connector for preventing the boot and trigger from turning relative to the connector. In an embodiment of the invention, a second boot parallel to the first boot is joined thereto by a web, and a trigger member extends from the web at an angle to the boots.

1. For use with a connector having an elongated body portion, a front end having a latch, and a rear end having a flanged extender cap extending therefrom a boot comprising:an elongated body having a front end and a rear end and a first bore of a first diameter extending through a first portion thereof from said front-end, a second bore extending from said first bore and having a second diameter less than said first diameter thereby creating a shoulder portion between the two bores having a configuration for preventing rotation of the boot relative to the connector; a third portion having a third diameter less than said first and second diameters extending from said second bore to said rear end, thereby creating a through passage for an optical fiber cable; and said first portion having a trigger member extending at an angle relative to said body toward said front end to interact with the latch.
