Abstract: An apparatus for applying a terminal end of a cable (165) includes a base plate (120) having a threaded rod support (131), and a threaded rod (135) inserted through an aperture of the threaded rod support. The apparatus further includes an anchor (125) coupled to the base plate and configured to couple a terminal end body (150) of a cable to the apparatus, and a cinch trolly (130) slidebly coupled to the base plate via a groove (132). The cinch trolly includes a protrusion (138) configured to couple a cable pulling clamp (170) to the cinch trolly, and one or more threaded nuts (137) configured to threadably couple the cinch trolly to the threaded rod. The cinch trolly is configured to move along the groove away from the anchor when the threaded rod is rotated, thereby pulling the cable away from the anchor via the cable pulling clamp and thereby cinching the cable and a wedge within the terminal end body.
