A tensile 7r member is prepared by attaching terminations to an assembly of synthetic filaments. The tensile member is then attached to a loading Il apparatus that subjects the tensile member to a pre-defined loading process. The tensile member is thereby conditioned to a stable ei ---- length. A bend restricting device is attached to the cable assembly proximate the point where the synthetic strands exit the termination IN and enter the freely-flexing portion of the cable. The bend restricting device is configured to permit periodic inspection of the cable © in the region it covers. ei O [Continued on next page] WO 2017/214265 Al MIDEDIMOMOIDEIRMEM00110101E0HINOMEMOIMIE MC, MK, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RS, SE, SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
