model the end of one of the 7 strands that make the steel cable. Then copy and paste that polygon to make the other 6 strans(or use array to make 6 in a circle and put one in the middle). Now you should have a 2d version of the end of the cable. OK that was the hardest part! Now open up the lathe tool and set end angle to something like 900, sides to something like 300, and then adjust the offset until it looks about right. Here is what I came up with when testing this method.
