No that would be shooting myself in the foot. Yes I have lost much due to the cable, others have lost more. Id like to RMA my devices but some are old. IMO they only died cause of the water reaching the PoE and shorting it. I have gone back to Belden. It does not fit into the gear quite right but it works and ive not had issues with it.
