Abstract
A cable termination for connecting cable armor strands to a cable housing end. Individual wire strands are inserted through apertures in an inner hub and are engaged with the inner hub. An outer hub is connected to the inner hub and the housing for selectively tensioning the wire strands. The outer hub can have apertures for engagement with a second set of wire strands, and can be moved relative to the inner hub to selectively balance the tension in the first and second sets of wire strands. The wire strand ends are connected to the hubs at a selected radial distance from the cable center to strengthen the connection, and different structural combinations between the wire strands and the inner and outer hubs can be constructed.
