I'll attempt to clarify: Yes, the movement is a problem. However, I see it more as a symptom of another, perhaps more important problem
Which is what? Disconnected cables, high-frequency packets? How are either of these, in themselves, problems?

Mostly not too big a deal, as long as the server does some simple checking.
