Rookie mistake that cost me a full day

First time I installed new cables, I did it as fast as possible. Get to the cabinet and all the plugs were damaged, cannot connect them. Spent the remainder of the day fiddling with a screw drive trying to re form the plugs. Spend an extra 10 minutes wrapping the sub-D plugs properly before running new cables. Save yourself hours of messing around trying to re form the plug later. It's a mistake you make once but a sure way to tell if someone is experienced
