Question

Hello, I have an Ethernet cable that is way too long, is it possible to cut it, and if so how to do it.......thank you

Hello,
it's totally doable but what do you mean by way too long... because given the price of the RJ45 cable (0.5m = 2.5 euros), it might not be worth getting into DIY!
But just so you know, making your own RJ45 cable is here:

It's doable, but afterwards to do it again you will need an RJ45 crimping tool and RJ45 connectors. Isn't it better to just buy a shorter one instead?

It would be a shame to cut such a long cable, roll it up and put tape on it.
