Re: Contact life span

My laptop ethernet port failed after a few months of use. Somehow the sprung wires bent and crossed over. So i have to use a USB ethernet adapter.

If the port was contact only, and the spring connector was on the cable then the failure of the springs would not be an issue as cables are easily replaced.
