Nah, don't pull a new cable.  When you first install the cable, terminate on a proper RJ-45 jack.  Install a wall plate.

Then, when something goes bad, odds are you just plug in a new patch cord between the wall jack and the device.

On the off chance someone puts a nail through a cable, you're pulling again anyway.

You -did- pull in a pull string the first time, right? ;)

If the cable is bad it is the pullstring.

Good point.  Every time I've tried that in the past, it ends up being taped in a bundle.  Its gotta be a subset of Murphy's law or something.
