Nothing to say. Just trying to get my name as last poster on every section of the forum. Carry on.

Do a search for RJ45 on thingiverse.com and there are a couple of 3d print options for the clips

Goggle still works.
I think the problem is the design so limited in what they can do, they're all susceptible to the plastic tab breaking off, with some coming with a 'hat' to slide over the end of the clip so it doesn't get snagged.
Shame they've not fixed it like they have with usb connectors so no longer need to faff making sure it's the right way around. They've finally solved USB with the simple design of USB-C.
I have loads of ethernet cables with broken clips so this thread made me finally see what solutions were out there that are simpler than recrimping a new connector on only to find the tab has broken off by the end of the process.
Anyone got a simpler solution than below that doesn't involve just buying another cable?
Not tried it yet but going to later.

RJ45 connector that makes a satisfying clunk
