Zusammenfassung:	An end fitting for use in a remote control cable assembly of the type having a control cable that includes a conduit and a wire-like strand or core element. The end of the strand is typically attached to a slider rod that extends within a swivel tube. The swivel tube is supported within a swivel socket provided in the end fitting. The end fitting allows for easy rotation of the end fitting relative to the axis of the conduit without adding additional lash into the cable system from the rotating end fitting joint. The end fitting has two pieces, a molded sleeve and a rotating fitting. The molded sleeve is fastened directly onto and along the longitudinal axis of the conduit such that the molded sleeve is fixed against longitudinal movement relative said conduit end. The molded sleeve includes a partial spherical ball portion and a cylindrical portion. The rotating fitting is rotatably disposed about the molded sleeve and is used to attach the conduit end to a support structure. The rotating fitting includes a partial spherical cavity portion for receiving the spherical portion of the molded sleeve and a cylindrical cavity for receiving the cylindrical portion of the molded sleeve. The partial spherical ball portion of the molded sleeve and the partial spherical cavity portion of the rotating fitting mate together to form a partial spherical or annular snap fit.
