The present application relates to methods of protecting a cable or cables, methods of repairing a cable or cables, to a sleeve, to a cable or cables in combination with a sleeve, and to a dispenser for a sleeve. The method of protecting a cable or cables comprises uncoiling a protective sleeve (1) and forming the sleeve around a length of the cable or cables (10). The sleeve comprises a fibre-reinforced composite body which has an extended form in which it is resiliently biased in the form of an elongate tube (4) having a slit along its length by which the sleeve (1) can be opened to receive the cable or cables (10) so that the sleeve self forms around the cable or cables due to its resilience. When coiled (5) the sleeve is opened out at the slit to assume a flattened cross section. |
