The problem I've found is that when you crimp any nipples or caps on the cable, it crushes the cable end somewhat flat. Then when you remove the nipple later to pull the cable out, the end is frayed. As long as you don't crimp too tight this won't happen, but then they might fall off. I like that superglue/heat shrink idea. (plus it weighs less, ha-ha)
