If they are metal cable, go to the marine supply store and get some little 
copper sleeves to fit the cable.  Run the cable through one side of the 
sleeve, form the loop, and run the end through the other side of the 
sleeve.  Crunch it closed with vise grips, or use the tool at the marine 
store.  Some folks like to pre-thread some shrink tubing, and then cover 
the bare end of the cable with it.
