My dog chewed up part of my tv cable. He didn't chew all the way threw and none of the very middle wire is sticking out, so if I just wrap it up with electrical tape do you think it will be ok?

Well, since the dog chewed through the cable. All that has happened is the ground sheild is broken and can cause RF bleed to other items in the house. Yes, you can put electrical tape on it ,but, it will not be as good as a new peice of cable. The best thing to do is as soon as you can afford it go ahead and buy a new cable to replace the pld one. That way it gives you 100% RF sheilding and you won't be interfering with other electronics by the bad section. Hope this helps you out.

Probably. Those cables are insulated fairly well so they don't pick up any interferance. You won't have to worry about fires or anything. Just drop in picture quality. If your picture is a little fuzzy, just go to any electronices department and get a new cable.

by "cable" do you mean the electrical cord for your tv or the actual cable tv cable? if its the electrical cable you need to fix that right or you can set fire to your house, dont just put electrical tape on it. if its the cable tv cable, well....not very dangerous but it might affect your reception and internet, just buy a new one they are cheap. (digital quality though) dont buy the crap kind...buy RG6 not RG59

Yeah, if it works now, then he didn't do any damage to the actual cable. A little electrical tape should do the trick.

Crate him on a similar time as your away and don't enable him do this on a similar time as your around. Get him some toys like nylabones, kongs, and different rubber and rubber like bite toys to get him interest faraway from the cables and wires. If hes a nevertheless a pup, hes possibly purely teething, so that's beneficial to to additionally get him some uncooked beef bones from the butcher and enable him bite away on those. do no longer prepare dinner them since will cause them to risky to bite on. Crating a canine isn't merciless if finished wisely. A crate is meant to be a chuffed place for the canine to be on a similar time as the proprietors are away or at night while the canine is meant to be dozing like something of the contributors of the family contributors, and not up chewing wires. place a remarkable, previous heat blanket for him to place on on a similar time as interior the crate, and a bite toy to maintain him busy on a similar time as hes wakeful. enable him out to pee and poop once you upward push up, and enable him stroll around the abode as trouble-free on a similar time as you're THERE to observe him and practice him to depart the wires and cables by myself.

Coaxial 75 ohm? Do you still receive a good TV signal? It's a easy fix if it isn't working right, just replace the damaged section.
