Ethernet Cable Repair Jhb

[silkman]

Anyone know a reliable guy who can come to my house and repair a broken ethernet cable (I can see the green wire broken at the connection).
I'm in Jhb

um, cheap to replace

sorry forgot to mention- the cable goes thru the roof and very small conduit- it's a mission to get out

Why not go buy a RJ-45 crimping tool and new connector and do it yourself, it's pretty simple to do. Tons of online resources to show you how. Then you get to keep the tool for next time you need it.

This. A crimping tool and a handful of connectors will run you about R150 compared to a R350 call out.

Esquire has a range tools from R40 up. Strange, in their shop there is a completely different range than on the price list. Picked up recently very nice one for R99+VAT.

Another option is to use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/InstallerPart...7&sr=1-4&keywords=surface+mount+keystone+jack

Then you can use a short patch cord from that to your pc or whatever.

Here's a local company if you're interested: http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/index.php/structured-cabling-keystone-jack-c-47_56
