Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a cable, comprising both a molding tool with a cavity and with at least one first opening, and a line, said line consisting of at least one wire and a sheath surrounding the at least one wire. According to the invention, the line is inserted into the cavity and is guided out of the cavity via at least the first opening. A molding compound is injected into the cavity of the molding tool in a pressurized manner, wherein the line is pressed onto a seal surface of the cavity by means of the pressure of the molding compound, and the line closes the cavity at the seal surface.
