With all posts installed, it's time to thread the stainless steel cables through the pre-drilled holes in the posts. Each cable has two distinct ends: one is a flat end designed to thread onto the cable railing, and the other has a small raised center. The raised center end will go on the opposite side of the railing, ready for tensioning. Carefully feed each cable through the posts, ensuring it runs smoothly and without kinks. This step prepares the railing for the crucial tensioning process.
