Claim:
A method for creating a termination affixed to a length of strands of a cable, comprising: a. providing a shell made of a first material, wherein said shell includes a passage; b. providing a potting compound which is initially in a liquid state but which will harden into a solid state over time; c. placing said length of strands within said passage in said shell; d. at some point infusing said length of strands with said potting compound in said liquid state; e. allowing said potting compound to harden into said solid state while said length of strands lie within said passage, thereby bonding said length of strands to said shell; d. placing said length of strands and said shell into a mold; and e. molding a molded anchor made of a second material having properties different from said first material around said length of strands and said shell to form a completed termination.
