OT: Fixing an ethernet cable

[ChuteBoxe]

I have an ethernet wire running from the downstairs router, through the walls, going to my upstairs bedroom. My wife today, decides to unplug the wire in order to vacuum behind there. She then walks downstairs to put the vacuum back in the closet, and I walk in to tell her something, not knowing she went downstairs, walks in the room with the doobie hanging out of my mouth, and my doofy ass with size 13 work boots stepped on the end of the wire. The clip that holds it in your computer is now gone, and the rest of the plastic piece is cracked. So, can I fix this by splicing it and putting on a new coupling, or whatever? Or, am I going to have to pull the wire all the way out, and fight the wire again snaking it through?

It is fixable I remember clowns in HS doing it in C+ certify class, I wasn't in there though. I would suggest buying another cable, tying it on the end of the broken one and pulling it through as you pull the broken one out.

Ok, cool, thanks for the response Deuce. Your idea sounds good, I was going to ask one of the electricians at work tomorrow an easy way to snake the wire through, but now I already have the way. At worst case scenario I'll do that. I just found a link too that shows you how to fix it, so I'm going to Radio Shack tomorrow to get the replacement plastic piece, hopefully I can fix it. If not, now I have a way easier way to get it through the walls. Thanks again man. Watching the vid now Data, looks easy enough. Thanks to you too. Really appreciate it.
