How to replace an RJ45 ethernet connector plug yourself

What's worse than having your ethernet plug constantly fall out of your tv, laptop, modem, hub, server, router, etc because the little locking tab broke.

Well all is not lost as Driveway Dudes Paul shows you how to easily replace an RJ45 ethernet connector plug yourself.

You can buy the plugs quite cheaply (less than 5c each) usually available at an electrical retail outlet or online.
The crimping tool would cost you less than €10 or equivalent in you countries currency.

You could probably buy a ready made cable for less but what if the cable was in an inaccessible place.
And also wouldn't it be fun to learn something new and do it yourself.

Tools used
Safety blade, Snips, and Crimping tool.

Please think safety. Knives can be sharp.
