Cable protector assemblies and related methods and systems

A cable protector assembly, comprising:

• a protective frame at least partially defining a channel, the channel configured to at least partially receive a cable, the protective frame comprising:
• a frame flange having a frame opening,
• an inner frame slot extending arcuately and at least partially about the frame opening, and
• an outer frame slot extending longitudinally and parallel to the frame opening, wherein the inner frame slot intersects the outer frame slot;
• and
• a collar segment pivotably coupled to the protective frame, the collar segment pivotable between a disengaged position, an engaged position, and a biased position, the collar segment comprising:
• a collar flange having a collar opening.

A method of using a cable protector assembly, comprising:

• positioning a protective frame adjacent a tubular, the positioning comprising positioning at least part of a cable in a channel that is at least partially defined by the protective frame, the protective frame comprising:
• a frame flange having a frame opening,
• an inner frame slot extending arcuately and at least partially about the frame opening, and
• an outer frame slot extending longitudinally and parallel to the frame opening, wherein the inner frame slot intersects the outer frame slot;
• and
• pivoting a collar segment pivotably coupled to the protective frame from a disengaged position to an engaged position, the collar segment comprising a collar flange having a collar opening, the pivoting comprising:
• rotating a first block disposed in the collar opening relative to the collar flange,
• passing a second block through the outer frame slot, and
• engaging an inner face of the frame flange with the second block.
