HI Gigi - Thank you for your question. Yes, this DekPro undrilled cable brace includes the ball-style connector. If you are looking for a different connector style, you could consider the [Prestige Cable Railing 42" Pre-Drilled Cable Brace with Connectors](https://www.diyhomecenter.com/dekpro-prestige-cable-railing-pre-drilled-cable-brace). The intermediate balusters are pre-drilled and trimmable for any height. Thanks again for your question about DekPro Cable Railing.
