Snagless RJ45\'s...

I rescued some CAT6 cables with a delightfully simple connector
body and have been browsing google images in hope of finding
the connectors themselves.

The closest I\'ve seemed to find is:

Note that the whole point is that the latch doesn\'t stand up
inviting snags (which will likely tear it off!).

[Note, however, that other photos further down the page
seem to reference a different style, entirely!]

But, on the cables I\'ve found, the latch is even longer and
its curvature changes sign so that it ends on the connector body
and acts as a spring to help keep the latch engaged. This also
has the benefit of making it even harder for something to get
under the free end of the latch and attempt to pry it off!

Delightfully simple, one-piece design instead of boots/hoods
and all sorts of other mold complications.

No that\'s similar to (identical?) the link I posted.

These aren\'t \"curved\" (as in \"round\") but, rather, look
like a \'7\' whose top has been welded to the connector and
the bottom end resting *on* the connector body -- but, having
a slight up-turn away from the body. So, pressing on the latch
causes the bottom of it to ride along the connector body as
the latch is deformed by the pressure.

It\'s also longer (but that may be a second piece that
extends the body as a sort of strain relief.

I will see if I can get a photo and use image search
(though that almost always is a wasted effort).
