And yes you can cut the cable and make a new connecter very easily. You need to go to a comp store or like a Radio Shack store, buy a connecter and a crimper ... you might get away with crimping it by using a thin piece of metal or something. All you do is cut the cable and untwist the 4 twisted pairs then stick them into a connecter in a certain order:
white orange,orange,white green,blue,blue white,green,white brown,brown
this is looking at the connecter with the latch thing facing down ... im sure they will have better instructions on a package of the connecters.
