A pre-cut length of cable and a dead anchor are preassembled and inspected to provide a cable and dead anchor assembly for shipment to the job site. The assembly apparatus is a frame having a slot in one end wall to receive the assembly and a hydraulic cylinder having a tubular ram which pushes the jaw cluster of the anchor into the anchor shell to develop a permanent wedging engagement of the jaw cluster, cable and shell. The push force applied is less than that at which tooth deformation would occur which would cause material reduction of the holding power of the anchor during a later cable tensioning operation. After inspection of the jaw set, a cap is placed over the large end of the shell to prevent entry of the concrete mix.
