A fiber optic cable for use in a fiber optic connector has a protective sleeve pressed on the end of the fiber optic bundle of the cable with an inwardly extending flange which forms a protective spacer for the end surface of the bundle so that when two cables are mated in abutting relationship the end surfaces of the fiber bundles are spaced apart, preventing end surface bundle scratching which causes excessive light diffusion and results in light reception losses.
