The invention discloses a protective device, which comprises a protective plate, wherein the middle of the protective plate is provided with a mounting hole, the mounting hole is internally provided with at least one concentric variable-
diameter fixing ring in a sleeving manner, the variable-
diameter fixing ring is connected with the mounting hole through a connecting part, the variable-
diameter fixing ring is used for being matched with the diameter of a borne cable or supporting column, and when the diameter of the cable or supporting column is greater than that of the variable-diameter fixing ring, the connecting part connected with the variable-diameter fixing ring is broken off; and the protective plate is divided into a
left half part and a right half part along the center line of the mounting hole, and when the
left half part and the right half part are arranged on a cable or a supporting body in a sleeving manner, the
left half part and the right half part are connected together. According to the invention, the diameter of the mounting hole of the protective device is changed according to the diameter of a cable or a supporting body, and the protective device has the characteristic of being suitable for cables or supporting bodies with different diameters. In addition, the contact surface of the protective device and the cable is increased, the
frictional resistance isincreased, the anti-skid effect is achieved, and the cable is prevented from being scratched.
