Method and apparatus for protecting free ends of optical fibers of an optical fiber cable during transport of the optical fiber cable. The apparatus has a longitudinally divided tube capable of receiving an optical fiber cable and surrounding free ends of optical fibers of a received optical fiber cable. The longitudinally divided tube is capable of being connected to the optical fiber cable during transport of the optical fiber cable, and of being removed from the optical fiber cable after transport of the optical fiber cable for exposing the free ends of the optical fibers for connection of the optical fibers.
