Instead of tape or glue, unravel a couple inches of the end of the cable, cut off most of the strands, then try tying the remaining strands into a loop that you can attach to the floss. Alternately, use an awl or nail to spread the strands an inch or so from the end of the cable, and push the floss through the hole and tie it off. The remaining bit of cable after the hole should hold long enough to be able to pull it through.
