Actually i tried transplanting another connector first, but it didn't work. When I checked for connectivity I found out the cable had a break somewhere. So I had to replace the whole cable.
As for choosing CAT5, it was really me trying to cut costs and being too lazy to go out and buy cable. I had the cables lying around and gathering dust anyway XD
rave: ticketing system is still down
rant: going to be bored as hell here at work
rave: boss behind me moved to a different room, so i may be able to browse non-work related sites again XD
