I don't know about a metal cord protector but here's a different solution just in case it doesn't exist. when my cat wouldn't stop chewing on cables, I got bitter apple spray, collected all the cables in my house, put them all in my bathtub and sprayed them all very liberally with this bitter apple spray, let them dry then plugged everything back in. Now the only time I have a cable get chewed through is when I just got something and I forget to spray it cuz I guess she still tests them just to be sure they taste awful. And believe me, it tastes awful. I highly recommend wearing disposable gloves while handling the stuff, especially while it's wet and then washing the bathtub and your hands thoroughly once the cables are dry and back where they go. Blegh!
