swaged loop / eye

"Loops" or "eyes" in the plural, of course.

"Gaza" means a loop in the cable, also known as an "eye".
A "casquillo" is a sleeve or swage which fits over the splice forming the loop and protects it. A loop of this kind is most commonly called "swaged".

"Eslinga plana en cable de acero.
La presente invención disminuye cuantitativamente la mano de obra en este tipo de eslingas, gracias a la utilización de un casquillo convencional de aluminio (1) para prensarlo mecanicamente en las gazas u ojos (3) y así poder formar una eslinga segura con todo tipo de garantías."

horseshoe bend

I think it refers to a kind of bend made with a lace, which is used in safety.
I have also found "ferrule" for casquillo in a general document, but there is no sign of gazas there. Guardacabos are definitely "thimbles".
Good luck
