Damaged sky cable

theshamu

Lads,

Bitch of a dog got a hold of the cable that runs down the wall and into the house and chewed thru it. Is it possible to fix or do I need to get them out to replace?

There are two wires in total with the real fine wires around the outer wire

Trying to ring them but because of the fight they won't answer the phone :mad:

Any help would be great!!!!!

You can rejoin them, no need for the waterproofing if the break is indoors.

The f-connectors for standard (~6.5mm) cable are readily available, don't know about the thinner version of this stuff.

Cut out the bad bit, get a new section to replace the bad bit you cut out. Fit an F connector each end of the new bit and each end of the old lead and two barrel connectors, one for each end, and connect up. Make sure you put some form of waterproofing to keep the wet out.

Thanks for the advice lads.. Tried fixing it but no joy. Still under warranty and for some reason your dog chewing thru the cable does not void it lol..
