I'm starting to think I have dreamt this but... wasn't there an IBM Ethernet cable with instead of the little tab ending in ... nothing, it was a little bridge that went back down, so nothing to hook/snag on. But it didn't look quite like the 3D printed one here, but it was symmetrical looking, like a tiny tiny arch bridge.

Oh, and it was made of springy metal, in this maybe dream.



Unsure if IBM is involved, but there is the "industrial ethernet" connector that's different.

Tried to find it and found a few variants, but the one I had in mind is the "ix industrial ethernet" that's used by the MNT Pocket Reform.


Pretty sure I’ve seen a version of this cable that had a solid tab that bent in the middle. I have no idea what the brand/name is, and just spent way too long looking for it. It wasn’t metal, but sounds like a plastic version of what you’re talking about. I remember really liking them.

Edit: I think this is it. https://linkup.one/linkup-snagless-rj45-cat6-stp-connectors-...
