Applicators and methods for applying a conductor cover to a cable, the conductor cover being tubular and split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge. The applicator comprises: a structural element; a spool connected to rotate relative to the structural element, the spool being sized to store the conductor cover in a pre-application state where the conductor cover is wrapped one or more times around the spool with the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge of the conductor cover spread open and perpendicular to a spool axis; and a lock for holding the conductor cover in the pre-application state. |
