Super glue will indeed bind the cut ends together and will make rethreading the cable for reuse much easier.

The ultimate method is to solder the cable at the cut line before you cut. Soldering older galvanized or plain steel cables was a cinch but better quality stainless steel requires special fluxes and solder or silver solder.
