Silver solder would require the cable to be heated to red hot if you are talking about solver brazing. Otherwise a soft solder could be used if done properly. Not electronic solder but a harder higher heat leaded solder.
We used to repair our brake cables on our ten speeds like this. Lots of us died when they failed though. LOL
These cable systems do not require dead accuracy on the length, it is the distance from the end of the cable to the covering sheath and its attachment that makes it all work right.
Cable length is not too critical on these systems, it is the distance between the cable end and the clamp that matters, there is usually an adjustment to allow for cable stretch and initial set up.
