Reterminating older MIT 750 CVT Speaker cable to a shorter length - Can this be done?

They look like normal thick cable but when you remove the ends (they have "resistors" imbedded near the splitters).
If I were to reterminate these to a shorter length, would this be possible and not cause much harm to its overall performances?

MIT is not able to help since this is a much older model and they will not provide any service.
Would like to make these 8 footer into a 4 footer pair. Thanks

OP it is for a "Transparent cable". I was talking ONLY about the little Hi Pass filter at the end of the run. You can roll it off sooner if you want or leave it out all together. I've made up inline filters that work the same way. You can buy inline filters too.

Honestly though, I quit using all the network cables and went to weaves and ribbon cables. I haven't looked back. 

150.00 is a real push for a pair of 3 meter cables. 1.5 meters 75.00 or so..
They will make the length and use the terminal ends you want too, just ask. It's not a huge store, really kinda of mom and pop..

Is that 31 ohm in series?

Or with the capacitor in series between the +/- to roll the high end?

+ to - to roll off above 25K @ 4 ohms I believe. Been 4 years sense I made one up.. They work pretty good. Considering they were 10K + new.

31.7

I made up 10 or 12 pairs. I kept 2. 1 @ 1 meter. 1 @ 3 meters.

You have to increase the hand wound inductor (2.5 mH) in the first part of the network, if you shorten the length. In series on the + leg
