Nightmare AV cut me Ethernet cable

[nightrider1470]

To fix would I need to join ever single wire? There is like 8 and its the thin style so not much copper once cut.

I cut accidentally thinking it was an old speaker cable. It gives internet to my devices in my kitchen It would be ideal to fix to save the hassle having to drill a new cable to get to my gear

You probably need adult supervision.

I mean in your life, not just for whatever the hell that is you're talking about.

Good luck!

Rejoin, easy.

Easy enough job.

Just get yourself one of these kits and youtube how to wire up RJ45.

Then you just need one of these to join them together.

Probably more correct ways to do this but it'll get you up and running and what I've done rather than using networking wall points.

How best to rejoin? Twisting copper won't work

 

[Basher]

if I remember correctly; WO/O/WG/B/WB/G/WB/B to stick an end on it.

What does it have to go into?

Alternatively, something like these would work too:

can get krone couplers too, just need a punch down tool then.

Easier to run a new cable no?

Just joining the cuts in the cable together. It's not the actual clip part

You'll need to stick and end onto it or get something to crimp it together.

But a new cable. /thread

 

[monkeyspank]

get a few jelly crimps off ebay for a couple of quid

But a new cable. /thread

Not if it's run through walls, under floors etc. - in these cases joining it is the easier option than rerunning.


IDC Punchdown box is the best way to join it, but crimping both ends with RJ45's and using a coupler would also work fine.

Forget easy. We do not do these things because they are easy but because they are hard. (JFK)

 

[GiraffePencils]

I would have gone the route of soldering the wires together, and some heatshrink.

Tape the new wire to the old one and pull it through, it's not hard. Or re-terminate and couple.

Or just reconnect the existing one, saving time, money and effort.
