Usually known as Cable Guard or Cable Capping.

Comes in two sorts - flat and chamfered - one for walls and one for poles.

Usually plastic these days.

One of our wholesaler keeps some lengths, not too sure where to look online.

Actually, TLC seem to do it - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Cable_Accessories_Index/Cable_Guard/index...
