Till it doesn’t pull out.
Why would you want to torque a mech cable? 🤨

Finger tight with a short Allen key.

6-7 Nm for a Shimano XT

6-7Nm is indeed what Shimano say in their manual. Seems a bit too much for me and I'd go finger tight which ends up around 4-5Nm just to not squish the cable too much
