I'm not sure if this was done with the older style  product.
 
    This was for the newer current product before  they had special Preformed 
grips. They do NOT recommend using cable clamps -  caused cold flowing of the 
aramid fiber strands - except for the smallest size  which doesn't have any 
Preforms available.
 
    The old style Phillystran was fairly stiff and  used the potting heads. 
The current product is flexible and you could tie it  into a knot. Not 
recommended obviously but a quick check of its flexibility.
