The pictured cable has that built-up end which is supposed to prevent cable strain; re-terminating requires discarding it.

- somat 4y agoI am not sure how important the strain relief is, I never bother, but if you really want strain relief there are connectors with it. sometimes they have a metal band you have to crimp around the cable.
- akira2501 4y agoThe strain relief is for machine made cables where they glue or melt the relief into the plastic plug. Almost all manual crimp connectors have a strain relief built into them that's meant to grab the jacket and hold the cable right at the entry to the plug. All my RJ45 and RJ45-EZ connectors in my bag have this locking strain relief tab at the back.
