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.
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.
I prefer bareback
This is the way.
I used to have to fix these terminations after Joe Dick Corp Guy would break them off. It was mind numbing work, kind of like being on shopping cart duty at a grocery store.
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?
Broadcast jobs. Every single job you run, and then later pull, dozens or hundreds of data cables.
Oh, labelling? Forget it. You’ll label the first batch, and then be in a frantic rush that nothing else is labelled. Just a messy spreadsheet that you try to not forget.
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 end can get snagged and stuck with the end on.
I also have tape
Couldn’t you tape it over when pulling?
Left
Neither, cable boots are a pain in the ass no matter the design.
One on the right, when asked about “some switches”:
The one on the right, every day. The one on the left is a pain in the ass to disconnect.
Broken tab on the cable, using tape to keep it in the port.
Reboots some switches is a pro.
* poorly designed switches
Guy I used to work with would intentionally break off the latch on every cable he touched, rendering this question moot.
That guy must get around because I have seen far too many cables like that in important racks.
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)
