Economically, the plastic connectors make a lot of sense, but there's just something about it Some additional thoughts... The radio has a total of 4 holes (3 RJ-45 and 1 SFP connector for fiber) What if I were to include 1 metal connector, which will probably work for most since I imagine most people are still only using a single connector per radio (correct me if I'm wrong and you guys actually use NMS ports / etc) Regarding extra and/or spare connectors, it seems to make sense to include some extra plastic ones, and have an option for people who prefer * metal connectors* to pay extra for those (vs charging everyone an extra $100 / radio to include 3-4 extra connectors that might never be used). And if someone is ok with the plastic connector option, I'd probably just set it up a box of them customer service so they could just grab a handful and ship them out as necessary. Would having plastic *spare* connectors included make the Microwave radio feel *cheap* ? -Charles
