Even though kevlar fiber is touted as practically indestructible, it will fray with repeated friction. I get around this problem by stretching the cable taut, and while it's taut, touch some thin CA into the fibers and let it cure before releasing tension. Usually I twist the fibers to make it more like a "cable" than loosely laid tow fibers. I avoid knots by terminating cable ends in Sullivan 2-56 threaded connectors, which are a hollow tube, threaded on the outside. I run the CA hardened kevlar into the full length of the tube, touch a drop of CA in at either end of the tube, and that will hold forever at light pull-pull cable tension.
