Sounds like you're in for a challenge! As another person indicated, the wires may be extremely brittle so I'm thinking it best to disturb them as little as possible. Perhaps a pipe cutter (for plumbing) may be better than sawing the rod.
Another possibility is maybe you can install an electrical box 'around' the present configuration. Will the rod and wires fit through the hole in the back of an outlet box? Secure the box using screws.
