Has anyone tried cutting and soldier splicing the antenna cable? Maintaining the correct twists and shielding of course. It’s just a 24ga cat5 according to the sheathing. I worked in telecom for years and have successfully spliced hundreds of them in the field . Cannot get the plug through a particular rigging tube.

Yes, I cut mine and soldered it back together. I saved the shielding and wrapped it around the connection then heat shrunk over it all.
I have zero problems.
