Their QA team is really to blame there. Did no one test the switch before launching it?

    Maybe not with the same type of cables. While they're common in datacenters, not all cables have boots like that.

    That's still a QA issue.

    Design issue. The job of quality is to ensure that the item has been manufactured to meet all design criteria. A product with flaws in the design affecting the end user can still be made to high quality standards.

    Can we compromise and say “design QA”?

    A poorly designed product is still a problem with “QA” even if it’s the design quality that is poor rather than manufacturing quality.

    This always reminds me of the Gavin Belson Signature Box III from Silicon Valley.

    Notice how the Cisco logo is just left of the button. So I like to imagine some Gavin Belson type executive demanded the logo be put there at the last minute. Probably marketing, it's always marketing.

    Reminds me of the brilliant Coca-Cola campaign of putting random names on cans. Is someone more likely to buy a Coke that says "Jerome" of their friend happens to be named Jerome? Absolutely. And if they're not? I don't think it bothers anyone.

    And then it got watered down, likely by committee. Now they say "buddy", "pal", etc. so that they can apply to everyone.

    Missed the Mark a bit there.
