Abstract

The treatment of terminals of cables in producing electrical harnesses is effected by cutting a shield ribbon cable into two portions, making shallow cuts on the sheath of each portion, pulling the two cable portions in opposite directions so as to separate their sheath portions from the respective cuts with the uncovered terminals of the cable portions remaining in the sheath portions, and cutting the uncovered terminals outside the respective sheath portions so as to align the cut ends thereof.
