"In a nutshell, they suck!"
While I might have phrased it differently, I fully agree. I have
yet to get one of these silly, stupid slide style connectors to work. I
much prefer the other kind that are screwed in.
We also use the idea of cable ties to secure the cables.
Fortunately I can get away with this since all my wires are in very
fixed places. I had to scream at the communications people here to tie
them up because they were constantly falling out just from fan
vibration (and random air currents too I think). In the earily days of
our Ethernet this was the cause of many a mysterious problem.
One of the things I ask vendors now is what style connector their
hardware comes with.
