I Cut a Cat6a Cable and Tried to Fix It — Here’s What Happened

I cut a Cat6a Ethernet cable in half on purpose and used connector kits to put it back together. In this video, I test whether a repaired Cat6a cable actually works — and if there’s any performance loss after the splice. This is a real-world test using heat shrink butt connectors and crimping tools to see if these kits are a viable option for cable repair instead of running a brand-new cable. 🔧 Products Used in This Video ➡️ Heat Shrink Butt Connector Kit (Amazon): 🔗 https://amzn.to/49kLZ8F ➡️ Crimping Tool Used (Amazon): 🔗 https://amzn.to/49hkBIJ ➡️ Cat6a Ethernet Cable (Amazon): 🔗https://amzn.to/4aFdHzq ➡️ Cable Tester (Amazon): 🔗https://amzn.to/3Lx0MFv 🔧 Manufacturer Link 👉 https://haisstronica.com/?ref=GOTWIRE Thanks to Haisstronica for sending these kits over for testing.
