The one on the right can still have the boot’s tab slip under the plug’s tab, preventing the plug’s tab from being physically depressed far enough to release the plug from the socket.
The one on the left gets the utility knife circumcision.
Gotta love how "memes" is just computing memes and we are all fine with it anyway.
I prefer bareback
And ideally, never pull out.
This is the way.
Medic!
Recite the Ode after me:
Orange-stripe Orange,
Green-Stripe Blue,
Blue-Stripe Green,
Brown-Stripe Brown
Orange on left
Brown on right
Stripe solid stripe solid
Green green was the worst anime I have ever fucking seen
Green green bad
I hate that this is what works for me
New core memory.
Also: my life improved immensely when I decided to spend 12 quid to buy this:
I literally sploosh every time I use it. Doesn't matter what the wire, length, thickness, or girth. They crimp all the same
The wall behind me. Chin up, no drooling.
Good crimpers and strippers are worth their weight in what you paid for them in pennies.
I'm impressed mostly by the size of that peg board. They're surprisingly expensive...!
Are they where you are? That stinks, they are cheap here in the US, especially years ago. All the mounts are custom designed and printed by me: https://nowsci.com/pegboard/
$23 for a 1.2m by 2.4 m wooden pegboard sounds like a dream. Here, you're looking easily at £100...
Very impressed by your 3d mounts though, I'm still in the process of setting up my Voron. I'm finally down to the electrics, and am getting some weird shorting behaviour with my z-endstop, but slowly and steadily debugging it
And you just stick all the Ethernet wires in? Like a nasty naughty little thing.
Finally a thread for me!
I like the protected tabs because barring any absurd workspace dimensions I can use the plastic as extra leverage to press down on the tab with.
And I like sliding the Ethernet Foreskin over the terminal after I'm done assembling it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Plus you can re-use the covers later for sex later
Literally never found myself wanting one of these on my cable. I've found myself swearing at them more times than I can remember
You've apparently never pulled hundreds of feet of ethernet cable from racks or under raised datacenter floors. Without these, you're replacing that connector once it pops loose from the tangle without a tab
Who's pulling hundreds of feet of already terminated cable?
People who work on highrises. Ownership and management really have no concept of what they are asking when they say the server room needs to go from one side of the building to another, especially if there is satellite internet. Fuck satellite internet.
Your infrastructure cabling shouldn't ever be terminated to rj45. That should always be terminated to a keystone jack.
But even if you're dealing with cables that were terminated into rj45 and need to be relocated with rj45s at the new location, you should just go ahead and cut the ends off. The cable can get snagged and stuck with the end on.
Couldn't you tape it over when pulling?
Guy I used to work with would intentionally break off the latch on every cable he touched, rendering this question moot.
I assume he has since disappeared under mysterious circumstances, at the same time as all of his coworkers were somewhere else on a walk together (or so they swear)
Choose B and better switches
If you can't so that, choose B and use scissors to shorten the guard a hair
Neither. I choose neither.
One on the right, when asked about "some switches":
Reboots some switches
How are you rebooting a switch with a connector?
Some dumber manufacturers put the reset button right above a port, such that the clip cover can bump it on insertion.
dumber manufacturers
Cisco
Sorry, dumb and corrupt manufacturers.
This Cisco field notice has diagrams for the curious.
The one on the right, every day. The one on the left is a pain in the ass to disconnect.
I always circumcise my RJ45 connectors before plugging them in.
I'm a no boot man, causes more issues then they solve.
yeah same. I can count on one hand the number of times I've ripped lock tabs off, meanwhile the number of times the stiff protective boot makes it impossible to unclip when it is cold or more than 5yo is easily in the thousands.
Also reterminating a plug with a broken lock tab takes like 5 minutes to cut and crimp.. Or be a real chad and throw a strip of duct tape to hold it in and say fuckit.
* poorly designed switches
Reboots some switches is a pro.
