## Abstract

A method for assembling cables includes sliding a housing and a sleeve accommodated in the housing onto a cable in such a manner that the sleeve surrounds at least a portion of the cable. The housing is made of an electrically non-conductive material, the sleeve is made of an electrically conductive material and includes a cutting edge pointing radially inward, and the cable includes a conducting element and an insulation surrounding the conducting element. The method further includes magnetically forming the sleeve by applying a magnetic field to the sleeve through the housing, such that the sleeve is pressed against the insulation and the cutting edge penetrates the insulation completely and contacts the conducting element.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-5. (canceled)

### Claim 6

A method for assembling cables comprising:
sliding a housing and a sleeve accommodated in the housing onto a cable in such a manner that the sleeve surrounds at least a portion of the cable, wherein:
the housing is made of an electrically non-conductive material,
the sleeve is made of an electrically conductive material and includes a cutting edge pointing radially inward, and
the cable includes:
a conducting element; and
an insulation surrounding the conducting element; and
magnetically forming the sleeve by applying a magnetic field to the sleeve through the housing, such that the sleeve is pressed against the insulation and the cutting edge penetrates the insulation completely and contacts the conducting element.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A method according to claim 6, wherein magnetically forming the sleeve includes magnetically forming the sleeve such that the cutting edge penetrates partially into the conducting element.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

A method according to claim 6, wherein magnetically forming the sleeve includes magnetically forming the sleeve such that a sealing element disposed on an inner side of the sleeve is pressed against an outer side of the cable to establish a sealing contact with the outer side of the cable.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

A method according to claim 8, wherein magnetically forming the sleeve includes magnetically forming the sleeve such that the sealing element is pressed against an outer side of the insulation to establish a sealing contact with the outer side of the insulation.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

A method according to claim 6, wherein magnetically forming the sleeve includes magnetically forming the sleeve such that the housing is connected to the cable via the sleeve.
