this could be for a lot of reasons. the cable might have some kinks in it from pushing furniture into it, bending it a little too much, or even just sitting bent for too long.
u could try to plug it back in and then bending it throughout its length at various spots and seeing if it comes back, to locate where the issue is.
but its certainly not unheard of for old cables to just get a small breakage somewhere. it doesnt always have to be the connectors.
Cable sits fairly flat across the floor, relatively unmoved, but safe from beeing stepped on or damaged. I did move the cable around a bit while testing, but no luck.
