A process for surrounding joined cable ends with an elastic, monolithic sleeve which comprises expanding the bore of the sleeve, positioning the sleeve around the joined ends and then, permitting the bore to contract elastically, radially and progressively from one end of the sleeve toward the other. Also, apparatus for performing the process which comprises a rigid tube having a bore larger than the exterior size of the joined ends, having an ogive at one end, having a collar secured to the tube at the other end and at least two rigid, annular bodies mounted on the tube, one of annular bodies being engageable with an end of the sleeve and being slidable on the tube and the other annular body engaging the collar, and having threaded rods engaging the annular bodies through rotatable, threaded bushings for forcing the annular bodies apart in the axial direction of the tube to remove the tube from the sleeve.
