In use, with the cable anchor body inserted in a borehole and anchored therein, the faceplate positioned against a rock face and the first end of the outer member abutting the faceplate, the outer member is rotatable relative to the inner member, causing the inner member to move within the passage towards the second end of the outer member, drawing on the cable anchor body, tensioning the body.
