You only need to unplug and replug them a couple of times and they become useless. Type-C is rated for 10000 mating cycles by a standard, while "highly durable" RJ-45 connectors from e.g. Amphenol are rated for whopping 750 mating cycles. Anyone with or without an engineering degree can google that. Also you can't simply replace the Type-C connector and try to send USB over it, there are multiple reasons why that is a bad idea, won't work and can be destructive. | |

Or if you mean literally just the connector, it's wholly unsuited to USB signaling; at best the shielded version might handle USB High Speed, certainly not USB3+ speeds. | |
