That bad crimp wasn't always about the connector not having bit through the sheath all the way. Did the vise thing on my first cable (knowing that a new one was already on the way anyway) and it just made the cable stop working completely (that connector anyway). I still coulnd't see what the problem was, but I pitched it after getting the replacement. Now I've got a couple of extras here for my other units.
