A first transport mechanism which unwinds the cable from a drum and which transports the cable in the direction of its longitudinal axis is provided. A second transport mechanism comprises two belt drives, disposed successively as seen in the direction of the cable, which transport the cable perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable to the individual stations processing the cable ends. Upon advancing through the first transport mechanism, the cable is fed into a guide channel which is formed by a groove and by a ledge bar, where the groove is covered like two lips toward the second transport mechanism by two spring plates. Two separately controllable sliders engage the guide channel from the rear side, which sliders press the end of the cut-to-length cable section between the lip-shaped spring sheet metal sections into the belt drives. Advantageously, a guide sleeve is disposed between the first transport mechanism and a cutting provision. The guide sleeve can be tilted along with the slider and the cable to be cut to length can be placed on the fixed position part of the knives of the cutting provision. When the slider returns, the guide sleeve is also returned into the starting position.
