Len:
Oh yeah, i can order a couple of those with my next parts order and go from there.
This sounds like a good idea because it fits in with one of my other ideas too which
involves something else which actually needs RJ45-8 connectors too. This is
most likely the way i will proceed now because it fits two bills in one order.
Miguel:
Not a bad idea! That (or something like it) would definitely secure that thing in place
with some real guts behind it too. It would never pull out again. Heck, i wouldnt
mind doing something like that with my other connectors too that almost never
need pulling out but once in four years might.
I took that idea to another level (lower, but workable) and took a tie wrap and
tie wrapped the cable wire body just after the connector to another cable which
is secured well into the PC rear panel and immediately adjacent. The other
cable now holds the bad connector in place good enough for now.
Well, actually i used a twist tie not a tie wrap, but you get the idea.
The more permanent will be Len's idea perhaps coupled with your new idea for
the ultimate in unplugability

Now that i think about it i wonder why they make that important of a cable with
such dinky end tabs that can break off so easy like that. They should probably
have screw in end connectors like the VGA ones do so they cant pull out easy
and last longer.
