I've been documenting real-world RJ45 connector failures and their fixes. Three that stand out:

  • Coastal wind farm: standard RJ45 corroded in 6 months → fixed with IP67 waterproof
  • Train PIS: snap tabs vibrated loose → fixed with XLR locking connectors
  • Robot camera: discrete magnetics didn't fit → fixed with integrated PoE RJ45

What's the most memorable RJ45 failure you've debugged — and what fixed it?
