They would have had to pick an RJ45 with that kind of boot (there are other kinds) in that particular port during testing. Or, perhaps think more and say “hmm I wonder if that button is in a bad place”
The boot in the example is extremely common though, there’s no excuse for someone working at Cisco of all places to not test multiple cables in the test unit.
This went straight from designer to production because someone thought it would be cheaper to skip testing
did they change careers after that? I would want to work on a farm and touch grass every day with my new friends, the animals.

From this design flaw we can determine that Cisco doesn’t use Ethernet cables with protective boots
Even without the boot, I would think that a person’s thumb would hit the button regardless.

Poor product testing doesn’t mean engineer hadn’t make a stupid and serious mistake.
But it does make the company stupid for letting it get to production
It already has been said higher in the thread
