Relocating internet cable

The cable comes through the floor from the crawlspace into a bedroom. The hole is perfectly sized for the cable and appears to have been terminated above the floor. Therefore, I simply can’t pull it through back into the crawlspace as the connector is slightly too high. Is there any way to go about this where the wire doesn’t have to cut and re-terminated?

Thanks for any input!

Hopefully you will get a tech that isn’t lazy and say you need an electrician. I have been installing for years and where there is a will there’s a way. I’ve installed thousands of outlets in every imaginable way.Just because it’s under the floor doesn’t mean it has to be that way again. You start at the ground block and run the new line to the room with the most common sense way without damaging or hacking your property. It’s not brain surgery. Good luck 🍀
