Re: Conformal coating on Jaguar RJ12 connectors causing problems?

We had exactly this issue. 80% of the rj-12 connectors simply didn't seat properly, way too much slop in the coonector so just wiggling the cable would cause the connection to drop out. Our solution was to take a zip tie and shim the rj-12 connectors. Need to get the right size zip tie but works like a champ and can be removed to replace cable or Jaguar. This worked better than other the option we were looking at: glueing them into place. I did look at maybe more robost rj-12 connectors but ended up with this simple workaround.
