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 maintain the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge open along a portion of the conductor cover to allow a cable to be positioned, for example by movement of the head over the cable, in the portion of the conductor cover; and optionally a handle for positioning the head. The head may further comprise a roller element having a roller surface for contacting and guiding the conductor cover through the head in operation. A method is also disclosed of installing tubular conductor cover over a cable, the conductor cover being split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the method comprising: spacing the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge of a portion of the conductor cover open using a separator contained on a head, the separator contacting an interior surface of the conductor cover; positioning the head over a cable, for example using a handle, to position the cable next to the interior surface of the portion of the conductor cover; and applying a length of conductor cover to the cable by guiding the head along the cable, for example using the handle.
