Portuguese term or phrase: encabeçadas
..realizaram o lançamento manual dos cabos pelas torres A, B e C, e depois o cabo foi elevado até as roldanas presas nas mísulas das torres para posteriormente serem encabeçadas...

Is encabeçadas correct here? Or should it be encabeçado? And what does it mean in this context?
Tks.

anchored


Explanation:

1) O que são emcabeçadas são as extremidades do cabo:

2) Nesse contexto, encabeçamento é sinônimo de ancoragem:

Só não tenho certeza se "anchored" é a melhor tradução. Vamos aguardar a manifestação dos colegas.

topped with a head


Explanation:
More literal, but nevertheless relevant suggestion...

Other examples:

a wand topped with a head that was trimmed with ribbons and bells

is frequently topped with a head of relatively hard material,

Example sentence(s):
  • Then a panel flew open and a thick flexing cable, topped with a pointyeared head about the size of a ripe lemon, popped out of the machine
  • Only way to go is with stainless cable topped with a small piece of mesh around the cable
