good call then, however if it's so close to the plug i'd try to disassemble it and reattach plug to now slightly shorter cable (after taking photos noticing how cables are connected) (unless there are crimped, glued, mold-injected or otherwise irreversibly attached parts)
you can do that even with some crimped connectors, as long as you have spare or can make ersatz ferrula
either way, it's january problem

i think that some of these are meant to be disposable
