If you're in a situation where you might trip on the cable, surely run your cable better or just use Wifi? There are already so many things that can go wrong when setting up a network and there's no need to deal with potentially flaky physical connections. When I find broken clips in the lab I snip the cable in half and throw it in the bin. £5 for a new cable is a lot cheaper than spending time diagnosing a network problem. (if I don't snip it in half, on occasion people extract the 'perfectly good' ethernet cable out of the bin)
