- Price?
-
- I love them as they are very rugged. And cisco cables cost the very
- same whether it is V.35 or RS232 at the far end, so price isn't the problem.
-
- In general SS screws and Aluminum shells and such seize and gall and
- make screwing connectors a bitch.
-
- Be careful what if any lubes you use near contacts!, but I am partial to
- "NY-LUBE" which is a wax, not a grease and does not attract dust.
- It is designed to be melted to very fluid and then used to impregnate
- NYlon and similar plastic parts that do very poorly with grease. Hence
- its name. Works well in paste form, though.
-
- The typical elevator repair guy leaves cans on the tops of elevator cabs
- and so it is pretty easy to grab a dab which will last forever. They use
- it primarily because it doesn't collect dust.
-
- Dip the end of a toothpick in it and smear the tiniest amount in the V.35
- screw threads and behind the thrust shoulder where the screw pushes the
- connector in (and, if you can reach, where it jacks it out).
-
- Smooth as silk and no more cussing making v.35 connections.
-
- DON'T put it on the contacts.
