You need to cut off the broken RJ45, strip the cable with a cable stripper then use a crimper to attach a new head.

B. Network crimper: A network crimper can be used to replace the damaged connector by attaching a new RJ45 connector to the cable. D. Punchdown tool: A punchdown tool is used to terminate and secure the cable in a wall jack or patch panel. If the issue is at the wall jack, it may need to be re-terminated.
