Broken low voltage cable

[Steven Firth]

Hello. Can anyone advise how to repair this broken cable? It’s snapped too close to the adapter to cut and rejoin. Many thanks

It’s snapped too close to the adapter to cut and rejoin.

You would need to open the "plug" to get to the cable, but it will be welded closed, the only way to open it will be destructive. Some things are not repairable, this is one such thing.

Thank you. I found a replacement connector with 3m of cable online. If I cut the existing cable and suggestions to join it to the new connector/cable?

Does the bit with the vertical grooves looking at the pic just unscrew allowing you to plug in your new lead?
Hard to tell without actually seeing it in person.

You might need to use a small connector or soldering method. Consider using a heat shrink connector or a similar repair kit designed for tight spaces. If soldering, make sure to insulate the connection properly to avoid further issues.

if its for outdoor lights these work well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof...hvtargid=pla-1880526189483&psc=1&gad_source=1

Look at the voltage and type AC OR DC and purchase a new transformer from Internet of sai d voltage and type connect the broken cable correct polarity on to new transformer and your set of lights should be OK again

Yes, it unscrews. I’ve bought a new connector with attached cable which will have to be joined to the existing cable. Any advise on joining the 2 cables? They’re a bit like speaker cable in diameter. They aren’t marked with any coloured sleeves so I’m assuming they 2 cables are the same

Does the new lead not come with the screw on bit then, so the new one will replace the broken bit?

Are you able to solder the connections and heat shrink them over

Yes, but only at the mains plug end. The other end is just wire. Didn’t make sense to get a cable with the screw on but on both ends as I have to connect to the cable at the end where the lights start. It’s for a light up reindeer. The reindeer end just starts with lights, not the connector

I know what you mean.
I would go with Binky's idea use one of these Click HERE
Oh, and after you have done it, you MUST post a picture Of the reindeer, not the connector.
