Thanks Les, the trouble is that each lead has *very * thin strands of wire, I'm
not sure soldering would work ?

Solder each lead then insulate it. Finish it off with that self -
amalgamating tape that radio amateurs are fond of using - or seal the
repair in a waterproof box with liberal amounts of silicon around the
entry & exit holes.

Finish it off with a large sign saying "ONCE MORE AND YOU'RE BEEF" (:

Don't laugh, but the cows in the paddock have chewed through the data cable

Surely you need those small crimp slices that you squeeze together with
a pair of plyers. Unfortunately I can't get onto the RS Components
website to show what I mean. Then the joint(s) need water proofing.
