Sign up with GoogleI have a 20m HDMI cable that has one connector that was bent a bit during usage so it is dodgy now. I have replaced the cable but I don't want to throw the old one away. Are there any places in Joburg that can fit a new connector without it costing the same as a new cable? Thanks in advance.

Personally speaking I won't have it repaired. Cables are never the same after damage. It might seem that the damage is local to one part, when it actually extends within the cable too. Which means you pay repair costs, even if you aren't sure if it will still work as intended.
That's just how I view it.

Not worth repairing, they are so cheap now.

Sadly not worth repairing, unfortunately it's not like recrimping a LAN cable.

While you could fit a replacement connector, I'm not sure if it would be worth the effort. I doubt this connector would give you 4k etc. Having said that, we had a boardroom table with a female HDMI connector that was connected via a terminal block and it worked fine.
