It was only a particular kind of RJ45 boot that caused the issue, so if you are sensible and don't use a cable boot you never ran into the issue.

Just saying, this is not the fault of a single engineer but of a whole company that didn't think "try all common cable types" should be a required testing step before a network switch goes into mass production.

You don't have to test every cable boot. Just have a design guide that says "Don't put buttons above or below ports."
