WiFi has its problems but they don’t include a tiny plastic tab costing $0.002 that inevitably breaks off, making the physical connection susceptible to fail at the tiniest touch of a butterfly’s wing
I actively despise those things. When they’re the full boot they tend to be too tough. When they’re the tiny little things they do almost nothing. Plus the tabs will still break anyways eventually.
I have destroyed my fingertips a few times having to unplug lots of cables with a boot, from unifi stuff that had the ports slightly recessed. I hate both of those designs so much.
Easy my ass, somehow managed to make everything like I should at uni when we were taught these and still connection didn’t happen on tester. Even our prof was baffled after we redid the process with her watching and it still failed. xD
Some of those old testers were bullshit IMO. The one we had for our CCNA class, half the time it said the cable was bad, it would work just fine, full speed, no drama.
I currently have one that doesn’t click, and during gaming sessions it will get hot and pop out just enough to disconnect me. I have no idea why I haven’t replaced it yet.
It’s actually yellow for some reason. I am in bed now but I am absolutely not clicking on 3 of the replies so they don’t clear from my notifications until I replace it.

Gotta get cables with a tab protector! They’re lifesavers.
Personally, I prefer the ones that don’t kill my fingers, or none at all

Thanks.
Also thanks on deciphering what I meant. Stupid swipe keyboard. Saves a lot of time, but also makes a lot of mistakes.
LOL, that’s a really bad place to put a reset button.

I like the flex tab that doesn’t have a hooked end.
Usually the tabs break from getting stressed the other direction while being “tugged gracefully and never with undue force”

They merely prolong the inevitable
Stop messing with them. You don’t need to keep putting them in and out. Also, it’s easy to replace them with a $30 kit.
“easy”

Even worse when it hits the power button

Have you replaced it yet?
Greetings traveler from 1999 LAN party were you using IPX or TCP?
Second reminder to replace the blue miscreant.

Hey sounds like you need to replace that cable. Just a reminder.
