A cable end locking device that is used for securing the swaged end of a cable that is attached to a portable equipment. The device is simple, having only three parts: a tubular shell with an axial hole in one end for inserting a cable end, a tubular piston with an axial bore that is located inside the shell, and a key-operated cylinder lock that locks the piston in place. The piston bore hole and shell end hole are offset, which reduces the cable aperture, so that when locked, an inserted cable end can not be pulled out of the shell hole. An alternative embodiment of the device does not use a cylinder lock as the locking means. Instead, means are provided for a wire rope, cable, shaft or padlock to be used to lock the piston in place. The device can also be used to secure the end of a shaft.
