The “kemper” end of my remote cable has a slightly damaged plug. Is it easily replaced or do I need to buy a new cable? Cheers in advance folks.

You need an RJ45 crimping tool and ends. Their are many sets available out there to pick from (read the reviews for the best ones). If you have never done it before, you may screw it up once or twice. There area also testing tools that are relatively cheep that will test your splice job when you are done to ensure that your cable is correct.
I have a KPA rack version. I purchased a Ethercon connector for the KPA end (like the one on the foot controller end) and made an Ethercon faceplate connector for my foot controller cable. This prevents breakage on the KPA end permanently.
Of course, it is no big chore to replace the KPA RJ45 end really .... once you have the tools and know how to do it. My bigger issue is that I would be devastated if some drunk stumbled up on stage and tripped over my cable rendering my foot controller useless for the rest of the night!
