That's the actual lead the OP wants to put a protection cover round. What they want is a plastic protector shaped like a rugby ball with holes in each end for the plug and socket mains cable to fit in. I think I have seen them in the past but I thought they were used mainly for a 240 volt extension lead with a standard domestic 3 pin plug and socket as these are not protected from any damp. In these circumstances you would actually need a cover but like the mains cable shown in the above link you don't as these are designed specially for outdoor use like I said in my previous post.

I think this is what is required.

The Rugby ball type cover doesn't appear to have an IP rating so possibly no or minimal protection from water.
