I have to reverse what I said. We have been having this issue and my climber found that and have been using zip ties on every AF5x, Rocket and Prism since last October. Guess that’s what happens when the boss stays on the ground. He doesn’t know the little things our guys do to make the job be a 1 time climb.

That's a factual problem. Ubnt admitted there's an issue. You're just very lucky, hopefully it stays that way or you zip tie like hell.

I have never had a single bad Ethernet connection at the radio. We use the UBNT Tough Connectors and Shireen cable. We used to have this issue all the time due to a crimper that was OVER crimping the connectors. It was actually mashing the pins too far into the connector and mashing the clip on the back. Client radios would fail to have a Ethernet connection but the radio was connected. We went to the: Ideal 33-396 Data/Voice Crimp Tool Remember you don’t have to mass the ends to make the crimp better.

From: Josh Luthman Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 12:20 PM To: Ubiquiti Users Group Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Damn AF5X ports I ended up using zip ties to make the cable as solid as a rock. 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).
