Summary:The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cable assembly (32), an apparatus (40) for the manufacture of a cable assembly. (32) as well as a preassembled cable assembly (32) comprising a cable (33) having at least two cable wires (2) running inside a cable jacket (37), and at least one connector (34) arranged at each end (2a, 2b) of the cable (33). For an improved method and apparatus (40) providing a simplified supply chain and with an increased flexibility and short lead times, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a cable assembly (32) comprising the steps of connecting at least one end (2a) of cable wires (2) with terminal elements (3), and thereafter providing a cable jacket (37) around the cable wires (2) and an apparatus (40) for the manufacture of a cable assembly (32), comprising a termination unit (41) for connecting an end (2a) of a cable wire (2) with a terminal element (3) and a jacketing unit (46) for providing a cable jacket (37) around cable wires (2). The preassembled cable assembly of the present invention comprises a cable jacket (37) that is manufactured in a predetermined length (L 37 ) around the cable wires (2).
