What's the Biggest RJ45 Selection Mistake You've Seen?

I've been collecting common RJ45 connector mistakes for a guide, and these five come up repeatedly:

  1. Mismatched magnetics
  2. Under-spec'd PoE contacts
  3. Wrong IP rating
  4. Insufficient mating cycles
  5. Missing protection circuits

What's the most painful connector mistake you've encountered (or made)?
