@VintageVeloce @gsuberland it is terrible design regardless. Having a reset button not recessed AND in a place where clumsy fingers inserting the cable could accidentally push the button is just poor conception.

It probably happened because of the very limited front panel space. These things are designed to get as many ports as possible in the smallest possible space... leaving little room for stuff like switches. I agree it's a poor design...

But my point was: don't blame the engineer. Typically the location of stuff on the front panel is a Product Manager decision and responsibility. And then a rigorous test department might have caught it as well. Actually, it's possible they did catch it, but figured no one would be so silly as to use a cable that could hit the switch like that. That would also be a PM call. lol
