Stretched TV Cable

Can a stretched TV cable be "shortened" by putting a new end on the cable or is it the plastic housing that stretches ?

The way I am "working around" my stretched cable is I set the adustment per the instructions and then I pull the cable end out and place a small zip tie around the end under the crimp. This is enough tension to make up for the stretched cable and provide firmer shifts.
