  • Patent number: 6853796
    Abstract: A termination device (1) for cables (20) having at least one flexible strength member (21) comprises a retention member (3) for retaining the strength member and a base member (2) for accommodating the retention member (3). The base member (2) is provided with clamping means (11, 12) which prevent any longitudinal movement of the retention member (3). In addition, the clamping means (11, 12) exert pressure on the retention member accommodated in the base member so as to be able to clamp the strength member (21) between the clamping means and at least one surface (7) of the retention member.
