See adapters don’t scare me, like you I have piles of them in the work bag so I’m ready for what ever situation. Lots of fiber pigtails, ST connectors, SC connectors, single and multi mode, ethernet cables, thunderbolt to ethernet and thunderbolt to VGA, 8th inch to quarter inch headphone adapters, and so forth. Even USB to 9 pin serial for the console ports on various devices. The Mac needs a good serial terminal program for that matter. I use putty or the terminal software under windows but didn’t find Zterm on the Mac accessible. One more adapter won’t break me but it might give me cool connection options.
