They want you to go in raw without protection..

Iirc, Cisco's solution to this problem was to call cables with protective boots stupid and just warn off using them.

There's...theres no way. This cant be real, right? If it is then theres a Cisco engineer that is sure to get a brick through their window by a Net Admin who accidentally took down the corporate network just trying to locate where E/1 goes.

Very likely the switch was designed before connectors with protective boots were. None of the cables in my server rooms had em back when I was a sysadmin.

2017 if i googled it right, looks like cisco catalyst 9300 series

Not going to go on defending it, it's a dumb design to have a protruding reset button there regardless of the connector. That said 1U switch fascia's haven't really change that much in over 20 years. As a former sysadmin I hate those protective boot connectors and they are more trouble than their worth in a professional setting.

erm, actually 9300 looks like fixed version of C3850 :)
