There is no cable in the pic. That is what the cable stop (hook) looks like in these shifters. It has a slight bend, and ridge around it that looks like it could be 2 pieces, but this is what it normally looks like. See the hollowed out area? That is where the barrel end of the cable sits.
Here's a better pic of the area from a ST-5500 that I have laying around.
