A cable termination system and method of assembly is provided that clamps strength members of the cable after they have been wrapped around a winding member. The clamping force required is therefore reduced by the capstan effect of the winding member. The winding member is preferably a torus that encircles the cable, and the system may comprise a number of progressively larger tori arranged in sequence along the cable to provide sufficient room for wrapping all of the strength members around them.
