Abstract

Termination of flat cable is effected with connectors fed individually from a reel having a wound substrate with connectors releasably secured thereto. The connectors are seated in a crimping device and elongate such cable is fed to the crimping device along the cable longitudinal axis. Cable guide and registration apparatus is also disclosed, as is a control system.
