Understanding how to test a network cable
A network cable is a type of ethernet network cable that brings an internet connection to TVs and computers. If you’re having connection problems on your devices, then the problem may be a faulty cable. To test the cable, plug it into a network cable tester and see if it successfully transmits a signal. ClickAway can do this for you quickly with our in-person house/office call service. If you don’t have a network cable tester, there are other troubleshooting tests to tell if the problem is the cable or your modem.
Check internet cable connection on TV or computer Confirm network cable is fully plugged in Look for a green light on the back of the modem Inspect cable for any physical damage Use a new cable to see if connection improves

Warning: Why Duct Tape Can't Be Used To Insulate Wires and Cables
One of the few things duct tape can't do well is insulate wires. Duct tape uses cloth fibers in its backing, which, when placed up against electrically charged wires, can dry out over time and possibly even catch fire; especially, when they carry high voltages of electricity. If it's torn, chewed, frayed or otherwise damaged, just replace it.
