So...speaking of the flat ribbon type here. I recently built a new machine and "borrowed" the opticals from my old one. Well, now I have new opticals and such and am putting the old machine back together and plan on using it. I noticed about an inch from the mobo end of the cable there is a gap in one strand of the ribbon...you can actually see daylight thru it..he he..
It's probably been this way since day one about three years ago (thanks Dell!). What I'm wondering is this. It looks like these cable ends are self puncturing and just clamp on to the wire. Is that right? Can I just work it apart and try to reclamp it above the gap...or maybe just get a new end and clamp it on?
