- modeless 6y agoSo are the pins in cable connectors, but cables are (relatively) cheap and switching signals by replugging connectors works just fine.
- formerly_proven 6y agoIn my experience displayport and DVI cables of all brands and prices are incredibly fragile and definitely stop working well soon if you plug/unplug them once too often. Too often is something like 20-30 times.
- bronson 6y agoNo, cables and connectors these days are shielded and extremely tightly controlled. The amount of work that goes into designing them is staggering. (and that's before considering active cables)
