      From this design flaw we can determine that Cisco doesn’t use Ethernet cables with protective boots

        Even without the boot, I would think that a person’s thumb would hit the button regardless.

      They would have had to pick an RJ45 with that kind of boot (there are other kinds) in that particular port during testing. Or, perhaps think more and say “hmm I wonder if that button is in a bad place”

        If I’m a tester, plugging cables in and out all day, I’ll rip that boot off first thing.

        The boot in the example is extremely common though, there’s no excuse for someone working at Cisco of all places to not test multiple cables in the test unit.

        This went straight from designer to production because someone thought it would be cheaper to skip testing

        But it does make the company stupid for letting it get to production
