Factory cables often have press fit connectors. If you don't find a set
screw, you will just have to cut the connector off. Try heat on the
plastic to see if you can soften it enough to slide it back.

Some connectors are molded on after the metal portion is crimped.
Can be a useful cost reduction for the cable mfgr. if the volume
is high enough. PITA for the end-use to change/replace though.
