The invention concerns a device for applying marking tubes onto cables comprising: .circle. a driving mechanism for driving forward a cable to be marked along a driving axis (300), .circle. at least one buffer pipe (42) which can be arranged in a producing position where it is aligned with the driving axis (300), the buffer pipe having dimensions adapted both for a cable to be marked (3) to run through the buffer pipe and for a number of marking tubes to be threaded onto the buffer pipe, .circle. a pushing unit (6) configured for engaging and pushing forward along the driving axis at least one first out marking tube (2a) of the marking tubes threaded on the buffer pipe (42) until this first out marking tube (2a) exits the buffer pipe and is released onto the cable (3). The invention extends to a method for applying marking tubes onto cables using a buffer pipe. The cable is always driven in the same forward direction and there is no limitation concerning neither the length of the cable nor the number and the location of the marking tubes.
