Italian term or phrase: eliminare il cavo con connettore ad esso cablato
Hi,
I have a contorted Italian phrase here and I just am not in the mood to decipher it (LOL). All jokes aside, can anyone work this out, it is part of a series of installation instructions for an RGB lamp.
Thanks

Note: I am suggesting "and the connector fixed to it" because there may be other connectors in the vicinity that should NOT be removed.

agree  Gian: remove the cable and its connector

neutral  Being Earnest: remove does not mean eliminate. I would suggest permanently remove

  -> that's a very philosophical point. When does "remove" not mean "eliminate"?

agree  Mr Murray (X): 'remove' is perfect by me - much better than 'detach,' 'crush, kill and destroy' or similar. The intent is clear.

agree  Maria Vita Licata: Instead of "fixed" I'd use "wired"...
