Abstract
A protector for cable connectors has a double walled sleeve of flexible fabric material. Soft padding material is disposed within the double walls of the sleeve. Each open end of the sleeve includes strips of opposing hook and loop fastening material. In use, the sleeve is inserted over a connector and cable. When the connector is connected to its mating connector, the sleeve has its ends closed around the cable adjacent the connector. When the connector is disconnected, the sleeve is opened and moved to enclose the connector. The open end is closed and the other end closed around the cable.
