ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a unitary cable terminating press for terminating flat cable of the type having multiple individual conductors extending therethrough. This is especially applicable for terminating such cable which is arranged in a twisted configuration defining a cable of substantially round configuration. The press includes a guide and clamp having a plurality of individually operable clamp members for first positioning and clamping a first predetermined portion of the cable in a manner such that the conductors within that portion are clamped in a desired position. Thereafter, additional portions can be selectively clamped by the individual clamp member in a predetermined sequence. A cutting blade then serves to cut the cable at a location relative to the clamp. A flat cable connector can then be positioned in open engagement and a press mechanism is brought down on the connector to terminate the cable with the connector.
