The strand guiding device further comprises at least one channel extending from the first end to the second end inside the strand guiding device, the channel being arranged to be traversed longitudinally by a strand of a cable, and further arranged to hold the strand in place when under tension. The body of the guiding device is filled with a protective material for protecting the strand from corrosion and allowing later removal of the strand.
