Can I cut off a moulded plug and fit a new RJ45 connector?

You can reterminate stranded Ethernet cable with a plug designed for the conductor type, but the moulded plug you cut off is not reusable.

On a ready-made patch lead it is normally cleaner to use the right length in the first place or replace a damaged lead.

Is the conductor real copper or CCA? Are the conductors solid or stranded? Why use stranded copper in a patch lead? Are both ends normal RJ45 plugs?
