Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cable sleeving tool for applying a split-sleeve over a cable structure. The cable sleeving tool includes an inner guide member defining an inner passage for receiving a cable structure desired to be sleeved. The inner passage extends along a passage axis between an upstream end of the inner guide member and a downstream end of the inner guide member. The inner guide member also includes an inner surface defining the inner passage and an outer sleeve expansion surface for expanding the split sleeve. The cable sleeving tool also includes an outer guide member that surrounds at least a portion of the inner guide member. The outer guide member includes a sleeve containment surface that opposes the outer sleeve expansion surface. The outer sleeve expansion surface and the sleeve containment surface cooperate to define a sleeve passage having a transverse cross-sectional shape that curves generally about the passage axis.
