A connector feeding apparatus for an automated cable making machine is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pair of carousels each of which has a series of connector receiving units disposed about its periphery. Each carousel has a group of connector dispensing units arranged for selectively dispensing different types of connectors, under computer control, and inserting them into the connector receiving units. The carousels then deliver the connectors, in a desired order and a desired orientation to staging modules which, again under computer control, direct the connectors to a terminating station within the machine.
