Abstract
An elongate terminal body has a longitudinal bore which receives a wire rope or strand. A deformable member surrounds the rope or strand in an enlarged part of the bore adjacent the end at which the rope or strand enters. The terminal body is compressed to grip the rope or strand so that the deformable member is gripped between the terminal body and the rope or strand. The deformable member dissipates transverse and longitudinal vibrations transmitted along the rope or strand towards the terminal body.
