The twisting dies are on the opposed surfaces of two blocks between which the cable is fed by the feed rolls. The slitting of the cable is carried out by slitting edges which are on the feed rolls. A knob is provided for rotating the feed rolls thereby to feed the cable past the twisting dies and to the connector applicator.
