Re: How to prevent broken ethernet port on DS

Well Bob has a point though, use it in the pits even if it's not permitted at on the field, that just furthers the life and wear and tear in the pits and only a few in and out clicks at the field. ***what maybe 11-15 matches?*** So until the rules changes, we won't use the "port saver" device AKA 1 foot extension or the Triplit surge at the field, but we'll use it in the pits while we are tethered just to try and be safe and careful with the port as long as we can. It's a first time product, "they" who ever that is, did a good job designing it for the first time. Maybe next years revision will have some improvements or suggestions from everyone would be great.
