Assuming you're talking about the latches in some cables, they are an optional part of the spec. If you have the resources, you may be able to find and purchase replacement DP cables without latches!

I personally prefer them because my cable spaghetti can cause things to come undone on their own. 🙃

@dankeykang @foone I have to unplug them alot & it's extremely difficult to do without damaging the port, the plug, or other parts of the monitor. I've never seen DisplayPort cables that don't have a latch.

@jackemled @foone That's fair. It sucks your experience hasn't been so great.
