If modern laptops even have ether net ports, they seem to the kind with the little spring loaded flap because the laptop is too thin for a normal ether net port. So I'm surprised they haven't made a slim lightning connector type ether net port.
- ilyt 4y agoIf you already need a dongle might as well just have usb dongle tbh. There were some thin ones with retractable ethernet socket (via clever mechanics) but apparently pretty fragile
- jccalhoun 4y agoI thought about that and nearly didn't make the post but I still think it would be worth it.
- rnhmjoj 4y agoI had the same thought some time ago and went looking for alternatives to the 5P5C connector. It turns out they exist and are used in industrial applications, like the "ix Industrial" [1], precisely because how fragile the standard connector is. Unfortunately there's no standard and the designs are proprietary.
