    Default Dog ate my modem cable, where can I get a replacement locally?

    My dog is an asshole, and ripped the cable that connects my shaw modem from the power converter to the wall plug. This looks like a pretty generic plug (two round female socket plugs to the power supply, standard wall plug on the other side) but i have no idea where to buy spare chords in Calgary, any thoughts? Btw cable is beyond repair so no chance of shortening and reusing it.

    Shaw has tons of these on hand at their stores. They probably won't even charge you for it.

    You can probably find a replacement at the pet store or a dog breeder....

    Ask Shaw or if you are in the NW and not close to an retail outlet, just go to MemX

    $15.00? Jebus. Even Computerrack is expensive at $9.00

    It's a $0.20 cable but if you need it, you need it now and can't wait for them to slowboat one from China.

    Especially CP is threatening to go on strike again.

    You just need the Shaw modem end .... with the 2 pins .... temporarily cut, spliced and capped into another, regular AC cord.

    Surely the dog didnt eat THAT end???

    If so, what part of the city are you in? I have a collection of parts in my lab.

    Thanks for the responses guys, might have found a solution but will send out some pm's if it doesn't work out. The cables were covered in "bite proof" covering, which probably works for cats, but not a 60 pound dog. Thankfully he pulled them out of the socket before going to town on them.
