I use the Panduit connectors. They have a spring-loaded clip, and high quality offset gold crimps. We stopped having issues when I switched to these. They aren't cheap, and this is the cheapest place online to buy them that I have found. https://www.anixter.com/en_us/products/MPS588-C/PANDUIT/Copper-Connectors/p/355197?utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=s_dc~106968659190~~&gclid=CMDcmPH8x9ICFUq5wAodHu8Fvg

ToughCable (Ubnt) with ToughConnectors (Ubnt) going to AF5x (Ubnt). Is that what you're asking or are you talking about the AF5X unit? I haven't opened any of them up.

By hand I can't make the link drop, so I'm sure these 40 mph winds won't be able to now. I was hoping there was a long term fix rather than "use more zip ties and use grease" like a better ethernet jack that doesn't have this problem (like what's found in WBMFG cards, Rockets, Epmp, etc).
