Hello,
I recently bought a modern house that is hard wired with cat 5 lines.
One of these lines doesn't work and I need to replace it.
I am new to all of this but I was hoping that I could just attach a new cable to the old one and pull it through. I don't know what's behind the walls exactly but the cable is only 20/30 ft long and runs in a straightish line along the back of the house.
The old cable seems to be firmly attached to something.
I haven't used a lot of force but I can't pull it out and I was wondering if that is usually the case -are these lines commonly set up so they can't be replaced without removing lots of drywall?
I know it's a proper newbie question but I would appreciate a reply.
Thanks.
