Ethernet cables are useful for connecting Ethernet networks. They come in different lengths with some being too big to fit into your wall. This can be a problem if you are not able to find the right cable length to fit into your wall. Luckily, if you are in this situation, there is no need to worry because here are 8 solutions that may help when an Ethernet cable is too big to fit in your wall.
Use a Cable Tensioner
One solution to the problem of an Ethernet cable that is too big to fit in your wall is a cable tensioner. For this, you need to drill a hole in the wall and plug it in. Then, screw the other end of the tensioner onto a secure part on the other side of the wall. This will allow for a tight grip and make sure that there is no slack.
Use a Crossover Cable
A crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable that can connect two devices together. They come in different lengths and will allow you to connect two switches or computers together.
Buy a New Ethernet Cable
If the Ethernet cable is too big to fit into your wall, then you will need a new one. If you have a spare Ethernet cable in a smaller size that could be used to replace the old one, then this would be ideal. You could also buy a new Ethernet cable in a smaller size from a store.
Cut the Cable
The first solution is to cut the cable. To do this, you will need to cut the cable in half and then strip the cable. You will then need to use your crimping tool (or pliers) to crimp each end of the cables. Finally, you will need to use your zip-ties or tape so that it is easier to manage.
With a Saw
A saw is the best option if you are still looking for a way to cut your Ethernet cable. You can use a hand saw or an electric saw. You will need to measure the wall and cut the cable to size. Make sure you leave enough length left so that you can pull it back through after you have connected one end of the cable into the other device on either side of the wall.
Put the Cables in a Box
It is possible that the problem is not with the cable, but with the box where you are trying to put it. It is important to make sure that you have enough space for all of the cables. If you are having problems, try tucking or folding them together in a box. This will give you enough space to fit them into your wall.
Secure the Cables with a Pipe Clamp
The first solution when an Ethernet cable is too big to fit in your wall is securing the cables with a pipe clamp. Pipe clamps are cheap yet effective methods for securing cables. In order to secure the cable with a pipe clamp, you need to purchase a pipe clamp and some PVC pipes from your local store. The PVC pipes will be inserted through the wall and then the Ethernet cable will be fixed on one side of the clamp while the other side of the clamp is secured onto a nail or screw on the other side of the wall. You can use this method if you have a couple of inches worth of space between both sides of your wall.
A second solution to when an Ethernet cable is too big to fit in your wall is using Velcro straps. Velcro straps come in different sizes so it may be possible for you to find one that can fit around your Ethernet cable, depending on how wide it is. To fix this option, cut two pieces of Velcro so they are equal in size and wrap them around your Ethernet cable tightly. Then, fasten them in place with another strip of Velcro in between them and attach it onto another part of the wall.
A third solution for when an Ethernet cable is too big to fit into your wall is using duct tape or gaffer tape
Reinforce the Wall with Concrete
One solution to this problem is to reinforce the wall with concrete. This will provide a stronger foundation for the cable and keep it in place.
