3.2.2 Removal of U.FL connector
Care should be taken when mating or un-mating the U.FL plug from its receptacle as
they are designed (by the manufacturer Hirose) for a maximum of 30 cycles (in practice
probably anything more than five cycles is too much). The outer shell of the mating plug
can bend or deform easily and not make good electrical contact, thus degrading RF
performance - sometimes significantly.

A special tool exists to safely remove the U.FL cable. LSR recommends the Hirose
Electronics tool, part number U.FL-LP(V)-N-2. See picture below for what the tool looks
like and how to use it.
