An applicator is disclosed for applying a tubular conductor cover to a cable, the conductor cover being split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the applicator comprising: a head having a separator shaped to contact, in operation of the applicator, an interior surface of the conductor cover to spread open the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge along a portion of the conductor cover to allow the portion of the conductor cover to be applied to a cable. A method is also disclosed of applying tubular conductor cover to a cable, the conductor cover being split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the method comprising: spreading open the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge of a portion of the conductor cover with a separator on a head, the separator contacting an interior surface of the conductor cover; and applying a length of conductor cover to the cable through the head.
