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.
It's both, designer/engineer should have known but a good QA team would have caught it.
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.
