ABSTRACT:
A cable protector (for protecting e.g. optical cable) apparatus provides an elongated flexible body having a central longitudinal bore for holding the cable to be protected. The elongated body provides an outer surface, an inner surface, and a mass of flexible absorbent material in between the inner and outer surfaces. The mass of flexible material carries a plurality of longitudinally extending channels, each channel positioned generally in between the inner and outer surfaces. A slot extends between the inner and outer surfaces for enabling a user to expose the central longitudinal bore by spreading the slot apart so that the cable can be placed into the central bore via the slot.
