I tried pulling a new cable however, it gets caught up somewhere behind the wall.


Tape them solidly tip to tip, have someone wiggle the other side while you wiggle yours and push/pull. It should find the same hole.

A lot of times the hole, especially if fire block, is only cut to fit the head of that cable. And additional, or a side to side tape job won’t fit

If that doesn’t work tie a pull string to the old cable and remove it, then use string to try to get new cable through

Ive tested 4k at 120 on xbox x and a pc setup with this Cable at 50ft. There are 32 and 16ft options as well

Come on, even you have to laugh at that.

Fish tape blows, but your description was funny.

Despite the hilarity of this description, this is the way. Just make sure the tape isn’t going to come loose. I would probably also tie a string around the end of the existing cable (right above the tape) so that you can pull it back if the tape comes loose.
