Well when you subcontract the manufacturing out to a competitor’s plant (UBNT) there is always the possibility of sabotage too.

Assuming that this is a manufacturing and not a design issue, my guess is that it's either some process causing a component crack (i.e. not properly baking a moisture sensitive part before assembly..causing popcorning, or a mechanical flex during separation), or possibly a counterfeit component.

Dear Cambium - what’s going on, and how many more of these can we expect to fall over dead? Not cool when it happens to the same new customer twice in 10 days. Makes us look like idiots. Mark
