How to Safely Remove an Ethernet Cable | Generated by AI

Home 2025.10

In the image, you are holding what appears to be an RJ45 connector (also known as an Ethernet plug or crystal head). The small tabs on either side are designed to lock the connector in place when it is inserted into an Ethernet port or device.

You can press the tabs on both sides and gently pull out the cable. This will release the connector safely without damaging the plug or the port.

If you are trying to disassemble the connector (for example, to re-crimp the wires), you will need a special network cable crimping tool. Simply pressing the tabs will not allow you to take apart the connector itself.
