Hi Duke,
You need both ends of the sheath attached to the caliper body and the
handbrake mounting, respectively. If you want to see what it's like to not
have it that way, get out to your bike and undo one of the brake cable outer
housings - either at the lever or at the brake, and then see if it still
works.
Cheers,
Theo
