My guys got good at using a AFL Fast Connect with a 3mm boot and getting the distances right to just have the loose tube ending inside the boot. Sometimes a piece of heatshrink over the end of the boot as well. The loose tube is fairly rigid but it work OK in our fairly large NIDs .
Now we are using tight buffer flat drop so it just has 900um right in the cable. But we also switched to fusion splicing a pigtail at the NID so don't use a field install connector any more either.
