Hi
Ben
1 you finish cutting your cable
2 you take the end that is screwed onto your decoder
3 you unscrew it
4 you look at how your cable is sheathed at the end
5 you do the same with pliers
6 you screw the end back on
7 and there you are, very happy to have done it all by yourself

I hope this helped you, shuuss!!!!

Yes, but if it's a factory-installed cable, how does she do it?

hello
of course you can do it while being unplugged

there are beds available commercially

or you can make it yourself

connect the central wire (the core of the coaxial) by twisting the wire, then insulate it well with electrical tape, and then connect the outer braid by also twisting make sure no wire from the braid touches the central wire

re-insulate the whole thing and it's done

It is true that a cable is not expensive, but it is worth doing the assembly; plus, it's entertaining.

Thank you all for these explanations!

But there is an additional problem: between the cut and the decoder, the cable goes through the wall! So I probably need to repair it "on-site". I won't be able to put the decoder's connector at the location of the cut.

What is a "lit"? See message from francisbrico.

A coaxial cable isn’t easy to repair; if it loses signal you could use a RJ-45 cable with an Arduino but it’s not guaranteed to work...
