My RJ45 standard a cable broke. I tried fixing it in but i cant align the clolored wires properly , because they all turn and twist when i try to put them into the clear plastic thing.

do you have any advice of how to do this?

    If it's a premade patch cable…good fuckin luck. It's possible but they're usually too thin and flexible to recrimp without a bunch of attempts. Bulk wire is a lot stiffer and maintains its shape.

    Are you using pass through (EZ) connectors? That makes it a ton easier.
