1. A method for manufacturing an electric cable comprising the steps:
providing an electric cable that defines a longitudinal axis, and which has a front free end, and which has a cable sheath;
providing one or more plug-in connector components for fitting to the cable sheath of the electric cable;
providing plural processing modules for processing of the electric cable, and wherein each of the plural processing modules is mutually independent from others of the plural processing modules, and wherein each of the plural mutually independent processing modules processes the electric cable in succession;
providing a cable carrier and fitting the electric cable to the cable carrier, and wherein the cable carrier has at least one stop element which is arranged at a defined axial position along the longitudinal axis of the electric cable; and wherein
the at least one stop element of the cable carrier is arranged axially adjacent to the one or more plug-in connector components along the longitudinal axis of the electric cable to block a displacement path of the one or more plug-in connector components on the cable sheath in a positively locking fashion.
