A Strand Hub for use with a multi-strand steel cable for securing multiple trees or multiple poles together includes an outer body made of aluminum or another suitable soft metal with tapered openings extending therethrough. The Strand Hub also includes tapered inner bodies made of stainless steel or other suitable hard metal with a central bore extending therethrough for receiving a single strand of the multi-strand steel cables therein, and is sized and configured to be received in and cooperate with the tapered openings in the outer body. With this construction, the multi-strand steel cable can be partially unwound and a single strand threaded through the central bores in the tapered inner bodies, and the remaining strands can be threaded between the inner body and the outer bodies. The single middle strands are then bent over the tapered inner bodies to quickly and easily fix the Strand Hub on the multi-strand steel cables, thereby securing the trees or poles together.
