Hii...

A few days ago, the SysAdmin had to repair a severed ethernet cable that was chewed by rats.

He used these little round orange clamps that, when crimped, filled with a clear gel of some sort, which hopefully effectively connected the wires. I don't know what they're called, as I've never seen them before starting my (first) I.T. job here less than a year ago.

What I would have probably done is put an RJ-45 connector at each end and couple them.

So my question is, what are your favorite methods of cable repair on the fly, or otherwise (aside from replacing the cable)?

Now, I have almost no experience with soldering, but would really like to get good. I came across this post of a pretty fantastic solder job that also looks fairly time consuming.

If you like soldering, I was hoping to get some recommendations on a handy portable soldering iron, as well.

Thanks..!
