Cat 6 wire stuck in my wall

[Ahad101]

Hi everyone

I need some professional advice. I was running cat 6 wire trough my walls when suddenly my fishing wire got disconnected. The wire got disconnected around 10 cm from the outlet it was supposed to come out of. What do I do?

I think the wire I at the red line (as seen in the picture below )

If it's only a short distance and the cable isn't too long, you may be able to push it through the rest of the way from where it goes into the conduit.

Failing that, can you push a fish tape through and use that to pull in a new cable? If the conduit route is too convoluted I'm guessing the answer may be no.

Try pushing your tape through from the other end, once out the far end attach your CAT 6 cable to it and push, you never know it may just be enough to get the movement you need, especially if you can get a second pair of hands pulling as well.

looks like hammer time.

Pull the cat 6 back out and use a vacuum cleaner to pull a new drawstring through the conduit.

Make sure that when you attach the cable to the string you create a smooth surface using insulation tape or similar, if you have a sarp edge then it will catch on the inside of the conduit and snag again.
