Abstract
Abstract An improved Cable Loc Seal which includes a staking operation which locks the fixed end of the cable to the lock and furthermore, prevents the integrity of the seal from being destroyed in that if the cable is cut and the fixed end removed a new end of the cable cannot be inserted into the lock which guarantees the integrity of the seal.
