• I want to run some shielded cat6 from my switch out of a wall on one floor and back in on another. I have a long cat6 cable that’s terminated and the holes in the wall already exist from some old cabling, but the holes are too small to feed the terminated ends through.
    I’m considering cutting the ends and then re terminating the cables, but wanted to ask if people have experience with that and how hard it is. I’m also slightly put off by spending money on the kit that I’ll probably only ever use once.

    Or is there a better way of achieving this I’ve not considered?

  • As others have said it isn't that tricky. How long do you need this to last and is your cable external grade? I'd buy some external gel filled cable and terminate on sockets as it should last a lot longer that way.
