The invention relates to a cable-processing system comprising: a cable-processing machine (90), especially for automatically processing cable ends of long and/or heavy, relatively flexurally rigid pre-cut cables (80) in at least one cable-processing station (70a, 70b) of the cable-processing machine (90); and a cable transport device (10). The cable transport device (10) is designed with: a cable conveying device (320a, 320b) for transporting at least one of the cable ends (81) of the cable (80) into the at least one cable-processing station (70a, 70b); and a suspension transport device (50) which is designed to transport a cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) of the cable (80). This cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) is transported in a suspended manner, for example as a suspended cable wrap (80c). According to the invention, the suspension transport device (50) has at least one guide (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) and a plurality of suspension transport units (53). These suspension transport units (53) can be displaced in the guide (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) and are designed as suspensions for the cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2). The suspension transport units (53) are designed in such a way that a cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) suspended therefrom can be rotated about a vertical axis with or on the suspension transport unit (53).
