how common are those specific types of cables? The ones with that specific “protective boot”

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 61 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Really common with quality premade cables.

You know, the ones used in datacenters

[-] Winter8593@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah every one of my Ethernet cables at home have that.

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Almost every Ethernet cable has this, you can search for RJ-45 cables on Amazon and you will basically always see something like this.

I've seen some really cheap ones that don't have it. But the vast majority of cables like that I've seen have the protective boot.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 7 points 2 years ago

Basically all of them

I believe it's part of the standard so, all of them. Unless you get your cables from some cheap Chinese knockoff brand, but I don't imagine that any business would do that. Not worth the risk.

Pretty charitable calling that fucking flipper a 'boot', I must say.
