A device is suggested for processing cable-shaped conductors, particularly multicore cables, having at least one transport means (126) having a drive means (132) for transport supply and/or for lengthwise transport of cable-shaped conductor material (200), a cutting means (170) for cutting through cable-shaped conductor material, at least one first means (170) for processing the cut, cable-shaped conductor material, at least one guide means (130) for lengthwise guiding of the cable-shaped conductor material, the guide means (130) being implemented so that the free end of the cable-shaped conductor material may be pivoted out of its lengthwise direction, and at least one plate (110), implemented essentially perpendicularly to the cable direction, on which at least some of the means (126, 128, 130) of the device are positioned on one side. The plate (110) has at least one first pivotable plate part (114), which is pivotably positioned around an axis essentially parallel to the plate plane between two end positions using a first pivot angle, at least one of the transport means (126) cited and a guide means (130) being located on the plate part (114). At least one second means (172) is provided for processing the cable-shaped conductor material, which is arranged in a state of the first pivotable plate part (114) pivoted out of the plane of the plate (110) or may be arranged replaceably.
