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.
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
How do they

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.
They merely prolong the inevitable

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”

I just redo the connector if the ends break. Those cable clamp pliers were worth it, now I just need more opportunities to clamp some cable
I always install the boot when I make my cables.
