What happens here

After crimping each fixed end fitting, use a pair of robust cable cutters to trim off any excess stainless steel cable that extends beyond the fitting. Make sure to cut the cable as flush as possible with the end of the fitting for a clean and professional appearance. Repeat this step for all crimped fixed ends on your railing system.

Goal: Remove excess cable for a clean finish
