It could do. Use at each end if there is room, epoxy them onto the
housing. Dont worry if you havn't any epoxy. Seems like a valid
technical reason, to save dropping them later.

the reason I ask is I got it as a premade length with a plastic ferrule
at one end and a metal one at the other. no instructions.

put the metal end at the one with the most curve - derailleur.
theoretically anyway. makes no damned difference in practice.

put the metal one at the derailler, if you solder the end of the
inner, you can swap the plastic ferrule for a metal one, when you have
it, without mucho problemo. If your not soldering up, put the plastic
ferrule at the derailler where it will not last as long but will be
easier to replace over a splaying inner. You can also epoxy inner
wires or use pvc sleeve off mains electric cable. Just realised, I'd
better source some red and black stuff because new cables are now
brown and blue sheathed.

Goes into the derailleur to minimize crimping and hence drag there.

mmm.

I know what I meant at the time, and that is what matters.

more like: Epoxy your ferrules in place so that you dont drop them
when you are under stress, possibly on the road, at a later date.
Epoxy may also be of benefit in reducing play in the control system.

I;m always impressed by the rugged adventures people in this group
have with their bikes.
