How Do You Remove A Jammed Ethernet Cable Safely?
An Ethernet cable is the wire that connects your personal computer either to the modem or to other computers in a network set up. It ends in a wide plastic connector with a clip that holds it in place in the port it is plugged into. This cable carries the signals to and from PCs and modems and is an essential part of a wired Internet connection. 1. Shut everything down. Before you attempt to investigate or try any method of removing the jammed cable, it is safer to first turn off the PC and modem and unplug their power from the wall socket. Wait for a minute or two for any residual electricity to disperse. Although the cable is insulated in rubber and the connector is plastic, PC casings are usually metal and you don’t want to run the risk of getting shocked. It would also help to ground yourself by touching a different metal object such as a doorknob before you start tinkering with cable and the port which is usually located behind the desktop PC where all the other cables connect to.
