I would like to know if you can apply some boot covers (the colored ends that protect the fragile plastic "lever") to an already built Ethernet / RJ45 cable.
My guess would be "no" but I was thinking of cutting the boot along its length, put the cable in it, glue the boot cover and heat it in order to rebuild it (or melt it "correctly").
Did any of you have any experience on this kind of work or do you think it's impossible?
Cables including boot covers are like ~5x more expensive and the boot cover in itself it's not that all expensive (~80$ for 1000 or even less).
Or is there some (cheap ) other alternative?
