How to Fix/Terminate Ethernet Cables (Connectors)

What to do and how to go about fixing your ethernet cables. This mainly applies to when you want to replace one end of the cable. Perhaps the tab broke, or perhaps the cable got cut or damaged in some way and is now unusable.

Let me know if I helped. Also let me know if I stated something incorrectly or if something is confusing. I will try to help as much as possible in the comments section below.

Thanks.

this helps if you want to shorten a cable... they sell them at 50 feet - who needs 50 ft of cable at home or their office?

[johnyblaze360]
