My coworker damaged it and severed some wires. It was an interesting fix. The large wires had a center wire with a shield wire woven around it. Hopefully it correctly fixes the issue with the equipment.

That is something I didn’t think about or know. I did end up wrapping extra wiring around the shielding cable on each and soldering it as well.
The cables were all sliced in the same spot and I only had a few inches at the end of the cable.
I kept asking my coworker to find a replacement, but he said he couldn’t (probably didn’t look). I’ll have to find a replacement today as this is definitely a bandaid for the moment.
good call then, however if it’s so close to the plug i’d try to disassemble it and reattach plug to now slightly shorter cable (after taking photos noticing how cables are connected) (unless there are crimped, glued, mold-injected or otherwise irreversibly attached parts)
you can do that even with some crimped connectors, as long as you have spare or can make ersatz ferrula
either way, it’s january problem
