An optical fiber connector for a fiber optic ribbon cable includes a guide boot and a termination plug. The guide boot comprises an outer sleeve or body that defines an inner passageway, and has a first end for receiving the cable and a termination port. The inner passageway is dimensioned to allow a user to insert a cable through the passageway. The body with the inner passageway is used for guiding, bending, and/or twisting the cable. The body is angled at the desired angle (or radius of curvature), such as about 45 degrees or about 90 degrees. The body preferably has an outer diameter that decreases toward the first end. The inner passageway is preferably tapered to allow the cable to twist along the length of the boot without interference. The cable can be inserted into and through the guide boot without any twisting, and the cable can thereafter be twisted or otherwise rotated before the guide boot is connected with the termination plug. The termination plug has a first end to receive the cable and to connect with the guide boot using, for example, a friction fit. Locking tabs are preferably provided in the end to engage the termination port of the guide boot, thereby holding the guide boot in connection with the termination plug.
