An apparatus for laterally positioning flat cable in a machine for performing an operation on the cable comprises a base and a pair of cable guides which are movable with respect to the base. Each of the cable guides has a cable guide surface configured complementary to a respective cable side edge. The cable guide surfaces are in opposing relationship. A linkage is connected for moving the cable guide surfaces convergently and divergently through respective proportional distances on opposite sides of a target plane of convergence between the cable guide surfaces. When the cable guide surfaces are spaced apart at a distance equal to or greater than the cable width and the cable is introduced between the cable guide surfaces, operation of the linkage so as to move the cable guide surfaces convergently causes the cable to become confined between the cable guide surfaces with the cable longitudinal axis aligned parallel to the target plane.
